Now offering optional spikes for our Carbide Base footer machined from our TwinDamp™ material.
TwinDamp™ is based on a manganese-copper twin crystal alloy which has a damping capacity higher than magnesium and 10x that of copper. It has a loss factor similar rubber but in a rigid metal form.
We then perform multiple temperature treatments utilizing our high temperature furnace and cryogenic freezer over a 2-day period to further improve sonic character. Read more about the performance benefits of TwinDamp™ in our Measurements section.
All of our products are designed and manufactured in our company headquarters in Texas. Below is a video showing various stages of machining of our Carbide Base footer in our CNC machine shop.

Dawid Grzyb at HiFi Knights out of Poland has published a comprehensive review of the Diamond version of our Carbide Base footers. Dawid writes on his listening experiences using the footers under his preamp:
Elevated O2 content, increased imaging size, wider dynamic range and sensible instrumental/vocal closeness were uniformly positive changes rather than shifts to the side.
