AudioQuest Sorbo Gel Q Foot System - Set of 4

Q-Shaped Sorbothane Gel Feet, Four to a Set, 6.5 Pounds Each

AudioQuest SorboGel Q-Feet are sold as a set of four. Each is a ring of Sorbothane gel seated in a PVC tray, and AudioQuest rates each foot for 6.5 pounds, so a set carries a component of up to 26 pounds. Stereophile measured them at about 3 inches across and 1 inch tall in the tray.

A disc player, turntable or streamer with a spinning drive dislikes its own vibration as much as the room's. AudioQuest forms the Sorbothane as an open Q rather than a solid pad, and the tray keeps the gel off the furniture. The component rides on the gel instead of the shelf.

Rated 6.5 Pounds a Foot, and Meant to Keep Some Give

Fit, Load and Materials

Each Q-Foot carries up to 6.5 pounds, so four carry 26 pounds. No minimum is published. AudioQuest says the feet work best with some give left in the gel, so a component near the limit should have a fifth or sixth foot rather than four pressed flat.

Each foot sits in its PVC tray at about 3 inches across and 1 inch tall, by Stereophile's measurement, so allow an inch of added height. The tray is the part that touches the shelf, which keeps the tacky Sorbothane off a fine finish.

AudioQuest names disc players, turntables, surround processors and receivers as uses, and singles out anything with a spinning mechanism. Stereophile's Sasha Matson used them under a Music Hall USB-1 turntable. A set of four is the only size; heavier gear takes more sets.

What Reviewers Are Saying

Stereophile lists the Q-Feet in its Recommended Components 2025 Edition. Sasha Matson found them far easier to place than smaller polymer feet and wrote: “Atop the Q-Feet, the turntable seemed more stable and less susceptible to shifts”.

Who Are the Q-Feet Best For?

• You own a disc player, streamer or light turntable under 26 pounds — four Q-Feet carry it inside their rating
• Your component sits on fine furniture — the PVC tray keeps the tacky gel off the wood
• You want a large, easy-to-place foot — at 3 inches across, each one is simple to position under a chassis
• Your turntable skips when someone walks by — Stereophile found a Music Hall deck more stable on the Q-Feet
• Your component weighs more than 26 pounds — add a second set; AudioQuest rates each foot at 6.5 pounds, so six feet carry 39

How Do You Set Them Up?

Weigh the component and confirm that 26 pounds covers it. Set four trays on the shelf where the corners of the chassis will land, gel side up and clear of the stock feet. Lower the component onto the gel. Check that it sits level and that the gel still has some give, then listen.

Pairs Well With

What most Q-Feet owners shop next.

• Audio racks — a rigid, level shelf gives the pucks a firm grip
• Power conditioners — cleaner power for the gear you are isolating
• Isolation feet and cones — the other rungs for the rest of the rack
• Cables — the natural next upgrade for an isolated source

Frequently Asked Questions

How many do I need?

Four per component, and the set covers one. AudioQuest rates each foot at 6.5 pounds and advises leaving some give in the gel, so a component near 26 pounds takes a fifth or sixth foot from a second set.

Do they go under the stock feet or the chassis?

Under the chassis. Set the trays near the corners so the component rests on the gel and its own feet hang clear. The tray stays on the shelf; the gel touches the component.

Will the gel mark my furniture?

The gel sits in a PVC tray and does not touch the shelf. Sorbothane is tacky, so the tray is what makes the Q-Feet safe on fine furniture.

Can I use them under a turntable?

Yes. Stereophile's Sasha Matson used them under a Music Hall USB-1 and found the deck more stable. Keep the total weight under 26 pounds for four feet, and leave some give in the gel.
