Finite Elemente Cerabase Compact Under Racks or Speakers

Hi-Fi Corner

Has anyone used Finite Elemente footers placed under racks or loudspeakers apart from @frenchrooster ? I am considering the Cerabase Compacts for one of my racks and move the existing Cerapucs to the other rack. I wonder if there would be a difference going from the Cerapucs and Cerabase Compacts.

I’m also interested to know if anyone has compared the Cerapuc/Cerabase to the usual suspects when used under loudspeakers (Gaia, Auva etc.). I currently have Isoacoustics Gaia feet under the speakers and am unlikely to make any changes but I”m curious.

I think @frenchrooster uses them?

Exactly. Cerabases under speakers, cerapucks under the racks. Significant under the racks and night and day under the speakers.

Have you compared Isoacoustics Gaia and Cerabase under speakers? I guess not. Your speakers must be very heavy since the loading capacity of the Cerabase is very high.

I’ll likely get the Cerabase Compact or Classic for the rack and move the Cerapucs to the other rack. Thanks.

I had the Cerapucks under the speakers first. Nice improvement. But then the Cerabases compact which gave still better results.
Have some Gaia under my tubes amps. They work well. I doubt they would improve on the Cerabases under my speakers but haven’t tried.

Update. I’ve placed an order for the Cerabase Compact for my rack. I’ve also asked if the Cerapuc or Cerabase Compacts are an improvement to the Isoacoustics Gaia and the dealer said he personally didn’t try it but has four customers who upgraded from the Gaia to Cerabase Compact and reported an improvement.

The cost of 2 sets of Cerabase Compact for the speakers is prohibitive at the moment but I will keep them in mind in the future. All his customers are using Cerabase and not the Cerapuc for the speakers, surprisingly since the latter also has a high loading capacity up 80kg optimal, and my speakers+stands are around 35kg only.
