Tenderfoot: Herbie's overall best, most versatile, most popular footer!
...
Tenderfoot: Individually molded with a unique carbon-filled, platinum-cure silicone formulated in consultation with Wacker Chemie AG of Germany for maximum micro-vibration absorption. Recommended for audio and video components weighing from 4 to 45 pounds (2-20kg). Particularly well-suited for CD/DVD and SACD players, DACs, Blu-ray Players, preamps, power supplies and conditioners, turntables, and power amplifiers. Delivers a full-bodied and quick, highly articulate result with amazing linear extension. Does not "ooze," mar, or discolor surfaces. A thin decoupling grungebuster Dot is adhered to the base of each Tenderfoot.
Two versions available:
TenderSoft: for components weighing 40 pounds or less (18kg)....
Extra-Firm: for components weighing more than 40 pounds, up to 220 pounds (100kg).
...(Ideal weight-handling range of the two versions overlap somewhat. 40 lbs. is mid-point of overlapping capacities.)
...
Dimensions: 1.1" x 1.1" x .65" tall. (28mm x 28mm x 16.5mm).
Default recommendation: four Tenderfeet per component....

Big Tall Tenderfoot: Big and Beefy, yet as delicate as a butterfly
...
Big Tall Tenderfoot: Molded extra tall to lift components free of tall factory feet. Provides unsurpassed component isolation by efficiently absorbing micro-vibrations and blocking soundwave energies. Brings out highly linear and revealing audio resolution. TenderSoft version is identical to Tenderfoot above, but bigger. Extra-firm version delivers sensational, state-of-the-art results with heavier components up to 220 pounds.
...
.Free-standing feet do not mar surfaces; effective with all audio and video components, including amplifiers, power supplies and conditioners, preamps and CD players, turntables. Great also for plinths and platforms. A thin decoupling grungebuster Dot is adhered to the base of each Big Tall Tenderfoot.

Which feet to choose?
...
Because there are so many system variables involved with audio reproduction, it's not always possible to predict which isolation product will work best with any given component. Recommendations listed above are generalized only, not exclusive. Each of Herbie's isolation feet, however, perform superbly over a broad range of audio parameters. They are not too picky about what kind of rack, shelf, or weight load they are working with. All perform the same function: to reduce microphonic vibrations and hold electronic components firmly so that the true potential of those components can be revealed. Most audio and video components perform superbly with Tenderfoot isolation feet. Open-top tube amplifiers tend to do their very best with Iso-Cup/Lampblack Ball+Hi-End Base.
...
What it is:
...
Herbie's isolation materials are proprietary silicone-based elastomers with varying compliance and firmness qualities. Herbie's compounds are not dependent on a precise weight load to be most effective. They are equally effective under a wide range of weight and, because of their loosely cross-linked structure, have little or no resonant "coloration." Invented and formulated solely for audio and video applications, these unique materials are unsurpassed in their ability to absorb micro-vibrations and reduce audio distortion. Materials are residue-free, with excellent dielectric properties.
...
.Herbie's SuperSonic fluorocarbons are proprietary composites developed for absolute sonic neutrality and vibration-absorbing ability.
...
dBNeutralizer(tm) is a composite of platinum-cured silicones with barium sulfate and silica fillers.
...
Lampblack Ball is made of lampblack-filled soda-lime glass.
