Audiopoints vs Mapleshade brass cones

First of all, I currently have some sistrum stand for some of my components. Nice. Because of budget concerns, I can't afford another Sistrum stand; however, I might be able to swing a set of Mapleshade brass cones or 3 Audiopoints.

This is brass versus brass here; however it seems that the Audiopoints have a flat end while the Mapleshade cones have tips, so there might be a differenc.

Any recommendations?

Yes, look into Neuance shelving (spikes provided from what I have read) instead of cone points. I was over cone points (the multiple/variable adjustements used to drive me nuts) upon receiving/installing Neaunce shelves on my rack.

I owned/used Mapleshade cones previously and also tried borrowed "racing" cones (this is the only part of the name I recall, and suspect that this is not the exact name of the product).

Considering the retail price of the cone points I tried the Neuance shelves were a no brainer (after the fact). Still using the shelves a few years later on my rack with no regrets.

Parts express http://www.partsexpress.com has some cheap cones that worked OK in my system made by Dayton that you can use points or take the points off for around $20 for 4 just for a holdover until you get some more funds.

Happy Listening.

Matchstikman, if you own a sistrum rack, then you should be somewhat familiar with Star Sound's Audio Points.

One should never assume that all points are created equal.

-IMO
