A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing?


I received an email from Music Direct a couple weeks ago offering the BDR shelves again. Anyone else notice this? I use them extensively in my system and actually use carbon fiber sheets in DIY projects. I'm a big fan of CF's usefulness in audio.

The felt pads on the Supers should be removed for best results. The pads slow energy transfer audibly, can you believe it? 😳
@slaw...thanks for the update.  I tried to find mine, but I either sold them or put them "somewhere I could find them", of course, I can't.

I had the feeling the felt would have that effect and will certainly remember that when I put them into service.
I'm not feeling any buyer's remorse so far. As the weekend progresses, and I listen to more familiar recordings, I'll post.

One thing I've noticed throughout the years in audio...when a product is labeled "gold" or "silver", that is not by chance.....there is a thought behind it. Gold is mostly thought of as a smooth. warm presentation. Silver is thought of as a more transparent. revealing presentation.
I mention this because these cones are labeled "Golden Sound". And so far on lesser known lps, they live up to their name. And this is a good thing!
So, like I said, I cannot compare right now except only as a replacement for the rubber feet. I just finished listening to a very familiar lp, "Love Over Gold". The presentation is very quiet, quieter than I’ve experienced before in my system. This leads to greater/more natural tonality, no loss of any part of the frequency range. My system is sounding better than ever before.

I can hardly wait for the installation of the new wall mount system. Then, all of my front end components will be decoupled from the wall/room.
