Herbie's Audio Lab
Tenderfoot
Herbie's Audio Lab is a small, direct-to-consumer American maker that formulates its own silicone-elastomer isolation compounds (developed in consultation with Wacker Chemie AG) and molds each Tenderfoot in-house rather than sourcing from a mass supplier. The Tenderfoot is a compact isolation/damping footer designed to sit directly under a component's chassis in place of, or beneath, factory feet, and it has built a sustained following on enthusiast forums such as Head-Fi and the Decware community boards over many years.
