1st Update on winter lessons' lessons. I managed to locate certain vibration points using Jadem6's water trick (thanks again!). Placing cones accordingly, I gained treble energy and clarity using cones on the power supplies (CD and pre) rather than the machines. Putting cones undet the CD and pre, *shifted* the frequency response upward, giving too much treble at the expense of bass. A friend suggested I use absorbant material as a weight... sand bags etc being out the WAF region, I tried large, thick books (6-7 pounds), placed over the vibration points on: the CD, better imaging, tighter focus; the pre, more neutral sound, no loss of detail throughout the audible spectrum.
Maybe metal weights give their own *flavour* to the system -- i.e emphasizing treble??
On the down side, books on a piece of equipment look a bit silly....
BTW, JD, one cone under the power supplies, placed as per your findings, still sound better than three in my system!
