Great minds think alike.
The main reason for the footers is that my system seems to be a bit bright on the digital side (not on vinyl), and with the Shun Mook under the DAC, much of this has been solved.
I added some NOS Cunningham Globe 45's to the Big 7 recently, and I'll bet this is adding to some of the brightness since they are still breaking in.
When I get the new footers, I'll be sure to let them settle in before evaluating their performance.
