It already comes with cones from the factory and weighes a little over 50 lbs..."
My REGA ISIS Valve cdp is also around 45+ lbs., and these types of tweaks have no effect.
Similarly the Mapleshade 4" maple block platform and Heavyhat Triplepoionts brass cone footers were also bust with it. Again it works with my B system ARCAM kit.
