"@geoffkait, since you are quite familiar with the Golden Sound cones, another question for you please. Are the super jumbo cones OK or even better than the smaller GS cones for less heavy components such as a DAC which weighs say 20-30 lbs? I have a second set of these super jumbos on their way to me and I wonder whether I should put them under the DAC or under my pair of stacked BPT balanced power conditioning/isolation units. I am wondering whether I would be better off with one of the smaller cones for the DAC."
Hello, it’s a little complicated to answer those questions but I will give it a shot. The DH Cones are all extremely hard and strong so the load you put on them, even the SMALL size, is not really an issue. It really all comes down to the cost as to which ones to use. The reason I say that is the SUPER DH CONES are really the best sounding, even noticeably better than the Jumbos, which are actualy the same basic size, the SUPER DH CONE having a more ballistic shape. I always used SUPER DH CONES for critical applications, I.e., under CD Players, DACS, speakers, amps, and under ISOLATION PLATFORMS, etc. if I could afford to. If funds were tight, though, since these cones ain't cheap, I’d default to LARGE DH CONES, the size just below Jumbo on the price menu. The LARGE DH CONES are a great cost-effective cone. The SMALL DH CONE is a very good value for general purpose non-critical applications OR when funds are limited. I am a big fan of some other, overlooked places for SUPER DH CONES such as on top of speakers and Tube Traps. I also strongly suggest using cones under large couches, bookshelves and other big furniture.
