Hey Juan - this is a far better response or explanation etc. than my poor attempt.
So yes, I think we are allowed to express a "more nasty" or "less sibilant" or even a "more stiff bass" up to a "better bass" - and regarding the latter, once we know the person very well who says it.
But a "better" in general is not an appropriate term because it "works" over all the aspects together and while I might say "better" because of less nastyness but more poor bass at the same time, it won't tell about either. And so I would say : less nasytyness but also not the solution because my bass has gone.
That's a good clarification
And regarding the bamboo ... well, there I said I was annoyed for 4 days because I just was.
I think another just as well is allowed to say to be in extasy during 4 days.
But tells nothing much though because it's almost explicit taking distance from the real merit, which will be different for everybody. Well, for these things like damping and such.
Now I am waiting for Juan's verdict about his footers. I mean, the real one. Something like more or less accurate.
haha

Peter, "more or less accurate" is an oxymoron. Anyway, I don´t have the way to be accurate, I don´t have the tools and neither I´m a kind of accurate guy myself. So, I´ll try to take the "more or less" side,
I always use the same music to test one component and, contrary to other ways to test, I do it quite fast. This is because I trust more the very first impression then if I spend days listening. That way usually works for me. Could be, and usually is, that after some days I find something in the sound that I don´t like, but usually I do not return to the settings that I dismissed at first. So far, I'm only on the third day, I´m using the boards and feet as in the picture I posted before.
Is the sound more accurate? well, in my subjective appreciation yes, it is more accurate in the sense that the sound seems to be more like the real thing. I use a record from a Spanish singer I know very well, the singer and the record, I saw this guy in concert several times and listened the recording hundreds of times. The sound I´m hearing now seems the closest thing to what I can remember in a live performance of this person. I said before that that voice seems to be almost intimidating, I can´t think of better word to define the presence, so real, of that voice in my room.
What about the other parts of the recording? The instruments sound very very real e.g. the acoustic guitar on which I always pay attention. If you play an acoustic guitar and let each string vibrate the sound lasts almost forever, well, it sounds here like that but it also has that "presence" again the word that come to my mind all the time. The bass also has different tones that are clearly perceived and for the 12 inches woofer of my speakers the bass has now a deepness that it is really surprising.
Analyzed as a whole, I think the instruments are well integrated with each other and also with the voice.
Two points though. The first one is that I began to feel some sense of sharpness or edginess, something like if the sound is too clear. It might be me with my morbid anxiety about the perfect sound. This time, though, the sound seems to me so good that I´ll try to not touch anything for as long as possible and after I listen many different kinds of music.
The second thing I want to say is that I firmly believe that most of the merit of the sound I hear now, is mainly due to the NOS1a-Blaxius and not to the boards or feet. Although I have got the NOS1a-Blaxius since some time ago I have not had the opportunity to listen it for too long, so I'm still impressed by its sound. However, as I also said before, I tested different feet in the NOS1a-Blaxius and I like the sound with the bamboo feet the way I have it now.
Was it an accurate analysis? I´m afraid that only "more or less"
Regards,
Juan

Of course one cable or one board or even one dac could be "better" or "the best" for many people with different tastes in many different systems. That validates the use of that words imho.
). I think it is rather to try to find the most suitable system for each solution. As I mentioned in other posts before, I used diferent racks (e.g. Artesanía Audio), home forniture or Ikea boards, not only the bamboo ones. As feet I used different metal spikes, Vibrapods, balls of iron, balls of rubber, pieces of conglomerate rubber, blu-tack, gel bags, etc. What I can say is that the sound that I have now is the best I've ever had, even with my current speakers, that in theory are worse than other ones I had before. To be fair and do not seem exaggerated I´d say that the sound now is at least as in the best of times, maybe even better (I can not resist saying it 
is for you.
