Jesus, the cheap version is $1,200!
Scratch that off my list of possible tweaks.
 
EDIT:, ah wait, that's their 'flagship', the lower ranks are much more reasonable it seems. Worst website in the world to navigate...

I plan on putting some IsoNode feet on my Mini when I get it mainly just to raise it up a bit to match the Calyx 24/192's height.

I think this whole series would fit. There's a lot of companies that do some that would fit, me thinks.

I'm going to miss it because it's so ridiculously expensive. Really wish I could go...

OT, but congrats on the D4. I don't even want to know how big of an upgrade that was from the D300 since that's what I'm still shooting with (and wow at the lack of noise at that ISO).

That would be the rare 1957 United Electronics Company USAF-596 Rectifier. This tube knows how to swing!

Awesome set-up! 
 
What kind of spikes are those and how do you attach them?  Do you need to screw/bolt them in?

They kinda look like they've been epoxied on to me...

Updated some stuff. Been testing out the Woo X and X-DAC, but switching back to the X-DAC + HA-160DS very soon. I miss the clarity and PRaT. Oh, and I recently acquired a PS1000, which has been quite a letdown so far, not in terms of sonics, but in terms of everything else.

Austin, by everything else, do you mean comfort and fit? A low price/performance value ( what U pay & what U get)?

They're Dayton speaker spikes and can be found here: Dayton Audio DSS4-BK Black Speaker Spike Set 4 Pcs. 240-717   I'm using Rubber Calk so I can easily install/remove different footers while experimenting. The Mac normally sits on TriAbsorbers, pictured underneath the spikes of the amp, that too, is just an experiment. Trying different combos to see which sonic presentation will prove enjoyable to listen to.
 
No plans on drilling into the Mac, but the Epoxy idea sounds appealing if I stay with the spikes. Thanks, wilky61...

The sonics are really good, but don't top other dynamics like the T1 and the HD800. The PS1000's on par with the HD800 and T1, but have a much less price to performance ratio. For $1400 (or even as low as $1000 for the T1), you can get something almost as good, with even better characteristics, like the HD800 or the T1. The $1695 price tag is way too much, as I'd put it around $1000 for pure sonics. Once you take into consideration Grado's very poor build quality, fit, and comfort, the value goes down a lot. Only about $800 to $900, if even that.

Austin Morrow: I have my eyes set on PS1000. Was out of stock and got words this afternoon that it is  back in stock.  This is not helping

EDIT: Oh, I see what you're getting at. You'd be better off with the HD800 or T1 for that matter.
