Ansuz Acoustics is Raidho's sister company. While Raidho is busy making a buzz with it's speakers (and deservedly so), Ansuz concentrates on accessories, such as mains distributors and treatment devices as well as power cords, interconnects, speaker cables and vibration control footers.

More expensive models include a ceramic coated model, and a diamond coated one. In any event, the aluminium model sells for a not modest sum - S$500 for a set of four. I initially intended to use all four footers, but sett...
