Which cone's or platforms have helped?


I am curious which Cones or platforms you guys are using on your equipment that have given the best performance? Which products have you tested head to head? Which products were a big disapointment? I am currently looking at the mapleshade cones. I am already using a large maple base like they recommend. I am posting this under digital because I have been told that it can make the biggest difference on CD players.

Most experts regard cones, pucks and the like, as relatively minor players, compared to shelves and platforms. I looked for many years, for improved vibration isolation, and tried many products, and I've stopped now, completely happy with Neuance Shelves. At $150-$175, I regard them as one of the great bargains in audio today. The only caveat: they need proper support from below, spikes being best. Ken Lyon will advise on this crucial aspect of performance.
Jadem6 did a very nice review for this Forum on Neuance Alpha and Beta Shelves. If this isn't easy to find, email me and I'll try to find it and let you know. He knew more than I ever did about materials and mode of construction.
The website at least used to be www.greaterranges.com, but now I'd also try www.neuance.com. Mark the funny spelling of "neuance"--it isn't the English word "nuance".
