Vibration Tweaks

Not all the equipment resonate the same, so maybe no cones are THE cones. Find out what's wrong with your sound and then try the logical solutions. Usually the harder, sharper cones give you analytic sound; the softer cones render forgiving sound (or sluggish one). One more thing to notice, the vibration is not only on the chasis, but also on the transformer, the internal wiring, the PCB... What are you going to do with them? None I guess. So, don't work too hard, just do what you can do and willing to do. By the way, the position of the cones are also very tricky. I usually look for the spot by moving the cones around and concentrate listening to live recordings, when some of the instruments come alive then this must be a good spot for the cone.

I am very impressed with my results from Aurios. I use the pro's under my 185lb/ea speakers and 60lb SCD-1. I just bought some 1.0's to put under my other components. Great stuff.

Let it vibrate. You can't fight mother nature. However you can introduce a high speed condutive path for the Coloumb energy to exit. I have been using Audio Points and Sistrum products for nearly 10 yrs. These devices based on Coloumbs law of physics continue to amaze me and anyone of my friends who have tried them. I can testify they will make as much difference as changing a component. If you damp it you will kill it or alter the octaves above it or below. The idea is to naturally collect and let it exit in fast and orderly fashion. Uncompressed!!!!! Tom

I agree with Tom. I use the same products and am as pleased as punch. They (Star Sound Technology) are, now, producing speaker stands that are the best I have ever heard. They are based on the same technology. I mentioned it in an earlier post. It's resonance transference. There are some resonances that you just don't want to lose.

Different devices have different characteristics, so I recommend that you buy several different ones and experiment with combinations. Definitely put your speakers on stands or cones. After much trial and error, I have ended up with an air platform under my preamp, a sandbox under my turntable, brass cones under my cd player and amp, and vibrapods under my power supplies. In my HT, the DVD is on cones and an air platform. But a different combination might suit you and your gear better. You also don't need to spend a ton on it, so it can be a great value tweak.
