Perhaps from AliExpress?

Yeah the feet from AliExpress.

11 hours on, 1 hour off, repeat since a week ago Wed 7pm. Not saying I’m listening the whole time

I don’t leave the amp on when I’m not around or sleeping.

Mine is from here - 40mm x 20mm

This might be a deeper gold colour but it's 39mm x 23mm

Feet can add to the amp's aesthetics but also play a role in dampening vibration. Can you determine if the new ones you installed perform that function as well or better than stock?

I’m around most of the time, and sleep in my recliner setup with headphones on… No fires or explosions yet

I can't really tell because the ones I bought are not really for dampening vibration. There is a rubber strip but the stock feet are all rubber. For dampening vibration, you need specialised ones but there aren't any vibration on the amps because they sit on the racks.

Maybe this?

Speaking about vibrations it is a little bit unclear to me what vibrations can you have if a tube amp sits on some furniture. Many use those dampers. No moving parts and so on. Ah well, except those guys with the current vibrating inside the cables and so on, they are on a different level of understanding than me.

Yeah precisely no vibration. My feet are more for aesthetics. Guess solid aluminium ones are nicer than plastic or rubber. The ones on Destiny are plastic gold.

These are the Super Ultimate stock feet.

These are the Super Ultimate stock feet.

They look like they will do the job nicely.

The biggest improvement I ever got from using dampening feet was when I put them under the computer. It shares desk space with the tube amp and vibrations from the fans would wander over to the tubes and cause a buzzing sound. With dampening under the computer, the tubes went quiet. But on a well damped rack I think they are mostly cosmetic (which does have a value in and of itself).

Has anyone tried the UltimatE with the DCA Aeon Noire?

I ask because they have a very low impedance of only 13 Ohms. Would that present a problem?

Don’t have a Noire, but I do have the similar Aeon Closed X. No problem on my Ulti Mini. In fact they sound GlOrIoUs!!! I believe the Ultimate design is 4 ohm on the output, so the cans are 4 x the output impedance…

… ceteris paribus (@Pharmaboy gets annoyed when I use this ), keep audio gear / non-audio gear installed separately / wired separately / as far away as possible.

Thanks. Sounds like they won't be a problem then. I think all Aeons are similar when it comes to the load on the amplifier.

Mainly for that.

Odyssey came with solid aluminium feet in silver colour that’s why I didn’t change it. Actually on Odyssey they are isolation feet because they have a bit of bounce. I ask for better feet and Tomas installed those.

I know it’s unnecessary but when I spend so much on Odyssey I just want the best of everything. Even went with Yamamoto sockets which is a lot more expensive that Ultimate’s Teflon sockets.

Sowter transformers are also a lot more expensive than Silk.

I didn’t have a budget for Odyssey. It was supposed to be my last amp.

I can't believe that Bcowen favourite song came on in Tidal surf.
