Herbie's Soft Fat Dots provide plenty of compliance for micro-vibration control. Material doesn't mar or "ooze," doesn't dull higher frequencies or mess up the bass like Sorbothane and other soft, compliant materials. Softer than dBNeutralizer Fat Dots, Soft Fat Dots add more compliance when needed for small weight load, extra vibration control, or uneven surfaces. Soft Fat Dots are fast and highly responsive to microdynamic nuance, sonically neutral, very musical.
Large Soft Fat Dots are superior replacements for old Navcom pucks and superior upgrade for the "compliant interface support" pucks used in many Jeff Rowland amps and preamps.
Small: Recommended for desktop speakers and small "satellite" monitors weighing less than 10 pounds, and other light-weight isolation applications requiring a soft, compliant interface. Dimensions: 3/4" (19mm) diameter by 1/8" (3.2mm) thick.
Medium: Recommended for monitor and bookshelf speakers weighing about 20 pounds or less, and other audio and video isolation applications requiring a soft, compliant interface. Dimensions: 1-1/8" (28.5mm) diameter by 1/8" (3.2mm) thick.
Large: for severe vibration conditions involving speakers weighing up to about 30 pounds. Recommended in place of factory feet for use with turntables, CD players, preamps, and other components where a low profile is desired. Dimensions: 1-5/16" (33.3mm) diameter by 1/4" (6.4mm) thick.

IrelandSoft fat dot
Excellent, exactly as described
United StatesStill great products...
...wish they would answer emails/phone, though.
Best Desktop Speaker Sound
Exceptional !!! Using small soft fat dots under computer desktop speakers (Monsoon MM-700 Multi-Media Speaker System, dipole radiating planar magnetic speakers, tubular angled wire stands) sitting on birch plywood stand-up desk. Transformed the sound to audiophile quality. Soundstage snapped into focus with increased depth, clearer vocals, more space around instruments, tighter bass. 3 dots, one in back, two under front corners results in an overall very engaging, musical experience. Makes you want to listen all night. Highly recommended!
Helped my preamp
Large fat dots on the hard plastic feet of my already very good 19 lb preamp resulted in easily noticed improvement in overall clarity and depth of tone. Effectiveness of vibration reduction measures depends on how affected your component, or speakers are by vibration, of course. I had excellent results from Soft Booties under a lighter, tube buffer preamp as well. Herbie's stuff is legit.
Australiadustcover buffers
record cleaning is no fun, Styli not cheap to replace, so use my TT dustcover.one fat dot at each front corner of the plinth stops the loud Clunk coming through the system as you close the Dustcover when playing a record., The fat dots de-couple the front edge of the dustcover from the plinth ,whilst a small padded bean bag and closed cell pad placed on the dustcover top whilst playing seems to help cut down any dustcover resonance getting through at the hinge side of the dustcover..Black fat dots match my plinth so not noticeable and do a good job.
United StatesGreat, grippy, little, Small Fat Dots
These things really grip your components (without needing any adhesive at all) keeping a very stable surface. The isolation and stability are top notch!
Soft Dots work great!
The small soft dots worked perfectly in reducing unwanted resonances for my Martin Logan LX-16 bookshelf speakers. I am using them near field, in an "on desk" application which is not really what these speakers were intended for, but they are working great. I am powering them with a PS Audio Sprout 100 and the combination is fantastic. I intend on purchasing more flat dots for my Sprout integrated desktop amplifier and I will report back here. These bookshelf speakers were too boomy sounding and the little soft dots helped to reduce boomyness and helped to tighten up the bass. I have been experimenting with 3 and 4 dots for each speaker.
Ridiculous purchase
I bought six of these for my computer speakers on my desk for $25. I could have bought something similar that’ll serve the same purpose at Home Depot for five bucks or less.....
