Does anyone know where I can buy Michell Tendercups in the UK, preferably online?

I just checked with Michell and apparently the Tendercups have now been discontinued.

Chaps,

I was saddened by the demise of the Tendercups too (well maybe that's a bit strong but I mumbled under my breath and went in search of a alternative). Seems odd, as the cups are only Tenderfeet with a dimple machined out of the top.

You can get RDC cups, also from Audiophile Candy. To my delight these are a lot harder than I expected - I was expecting something 'squishy' like a tap washer or lump of cork, but these things are like hard plastic and can bear a lot of weight. I can't get one to deform at all no matter how much force I put on it by hand.

The price is about £18 for four.

They fit Michell Tendercups very well - some pictures to follow shortly.

Regards,

Richard.

The cups are 30mm diameter, by about 8mm tall.

They fit Michell Tenderfeet quite well.
