Feet for wiim improves sound

The bananas?

I know right. That made me actually laugh.

Every now and then its advisable to use a clean cloth and wipe away the dust on your device.. Actually daily would be better..

.
Absolutely under no circumstance should this be done. Why? Upon close inspection it is obviously Fairy Dust! That’s why.

Plus extra banana placed on top to dampen vibrations of excited fairies.

But OP, where did you get the feets?

Useful for those really annoying images on hifi forums where some can't post a pic of their audio setup without their feet or socks in the frame. Should be banned

I'm a cynic as far as a lot of Audiophile upgrades go.

However, the base that various units are sitting on can really make a difference.

25 years ago, I had my first "proper" hifi, It was entry level separates stuff, Technics and Marantz.

It was on the shelves of a cheap Ikea TV stand, underneath my TV.

I was doing some decorating and had took it off the TV stand and placed it on the hardwood floor. Speakers were in the same place.

There was a very noticeable sound improvement.

I bought a decent audio stand after that.

Not sure if those little feet could make much difference mind?

IF the WiiM was a Turntable then yes but it isn't so no.

However I do concur with putting decent feet onto to HiFi components if what they have are small. It allows ventilation and ventilation helps cooling. I have a stack of 2 Pi's with piBox Pro cases and a Khadas Tone Board in an Audiophonics case. They each have "oversized" feet and have a kitchen weight on top of the stack. The weight is to stop cable drag i.e. where cables are prone to drag and tip the component. Larger feet also help with this. Makes 0% difference to the SQ though.

Feet makes my wiim pro sounds like a wiim pro plus

I have feet for my WiiM and while it looks better I can't say it made much difference to the sound.

Stopping playing test tunes to see the quality and playing albums I liked, now that made a difference to how much I enjoy it.

Does it help that the feet are “transparent” like its DAC and help gel the soundstage together?

I use these for the Ultra:

Original ones were not high enough.

Has the cat improved the soundstage?

 

[Qnots]

Yes the cat makes the sound purfect.

 

[phunny12000]

I actually use these with my speakers when I finally tried stands, work okay

Why amplifiers have feet ? Is it only for distributing the device weight and not damaging the furniture they sit on?

To aid ventilation perhaps?
