Carbide Base Inserts
Carbide Base Nano – Isolation Footers
The Nano audio footer distills our best ball bearing isolator technology down into the smallest possible form factor. The extreme hardness and low friction of the ball bearing raceways utilized in each footer allow for excellent vibration isolation performance across a wide frequency range.
Nano is available in either Standard version with our Sapphire bearing races or Diamond version with our Diamond bearing races and TwinDamp™ high-damping alloy.
Nano audio footers can optionally accept our spikes for piercing through carpet, or our bolt kit for bolting directly to loudspeakers or audio equipment. Each Nano footer can support up to 55 kg (121 lbs).
Sold in sets of 3 or 4.
Carbide Base Micro – Isolation Footers
Carbide Base Micro footers are sold individually in a black or silver finish.
Choose the installed Micro ViscoRing™ depending on your intended supporting weight range.
The Super Heavy Micro ViscoRing™ is made from our TwinDamp™ high-damping alloy rather than our viscoelastic material for maximum weight supporting ability.
A modular design allows ball bearing inserts to be added into the top of the footer for additional isolation.
Choose the Sapphire or Diamond version to add the respective Carbide Base Inserts. Nano Inserts can also be added to any version if the center hole will not be used to bolt the footers to equipment or accept the tip of a loudspeaker spike.

First Watt Sit-5 Power Amplifier
The SIT-5 is the most recent amplifier produced by First Watt, and is the fifth to use a Static Induction Transistor (SIT) as the power amplifying device. In 2011 we introduced our first SIT amplifier using a custom Silicon Carbide (SiC) transistor part made by SemiSouth. The amplifier also used a single power device, operating without feedback in single-ended Class A Common-Source mode to deliver 10 watts of power emulating the characteristic of a Triode, but operating at voltage and currents directly needed by loudspeakers, eliminating the output transformer.

Heart’s breakthrough debut, Dreamboat Annie, has often been framed in the context of a female-led band successfully matching the moves of its male counterparts during an era when women weren’t associated with rocking out — particularly on a mainstream level. While that take is true — Ann and Nancy Wilson practically stood alone amid a commercial age dominated by testosterone — it undersells the appeal, scope, and craftsmanship of an album that deserves to be revered strictly because of its merit, not because of the gender of the group’s principal members.
