2. The biggest criticism I read about for Schiit equipment is that they fall short in the “shoes” department. Being from Miami and born on South Beach (58 years ago), I am attuned to the site of nice shoes... on my equipment and on women (with the women, nice ankles are likewise mandatory).[ATTACH]

Do you stick with Schiit’s “stock” footwear or do you enhance is with aftermarket feet (e.g., Stillpoints, Rollerblocks, etc.)?

Thanks

I don't think it's "accurate" to state that Schiit falls short in the "shoes" department, when virtually 99.5% of other component manufacturer install inexpensive rubber feet on their components as well, including my E.A.R., Conrad-Johnson, and Shunyata equipment. In fact, I don't know of any manufacturers that provide Stillpoints or Rollerblocks as footers for their components as an OEM footer.

That being said, try whatever you want. I've tried a couple of different footers (Synergistics MIG and some Herbie's) and find that they make virtually no difference in the sound of a Gungnir Multibit. Bear in mind that I haven't spent $500 on footers for a $1250 component.
