Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker!

Geoff, 

The MIGs are a different shape (domed), not sure of the material they're made of. I assume these factors might be different from the usual point/funnel/cone shape. I just think it maybe a possible look to someone who's willing to experiment. There was a set offered here at $100.

I have heard the same thing from a user/customer of DH Cones, the quote is probably still on Golden Sound’s web site. But as I already said that theory doesn’t make sense. People say a lot of things, some of which might not be true. There is no theory I can think of, you know, as a theoretical physicist, why that one down two up theory would ever be true. Whether a the shape is domed, or ballistic or conical all cones act like mechanical diodes. Otherwise you could have a double-pointed cone or one that looks like an egg🥚 We had this class last week. Obviously there are a lot of theories about this stuff floating around.

@slaw   The SR MIG 2.0s work as advertised. Additional detail from SR's website:

"MiG 2.0 builds on the performance of the original MiG with the inclusion of a specially tuned high frequency transducer similar to our HFT room treatments. The 2.0’s balance is extended with high frequency air that makes music sound as if it is decaying into infinity. Perfect for high resolution systems that are well sorted, tube based systems or systems that need help with high frequency extension, simply experiment with your two placement options, Pin-Point and Ambient, to find your perfect system match. You may also want to experiment with MiG’s and MiG 2.0’s for a bespoke solution that fits your system and personal tastes to a tee."

The MIG is also offered in Version 1 form.

Thanks @david_ten 

I own some HFTs to level 2. I have currently felt going further with these in my well treated room may not be the best use of money right now. I am impressed with what I heard thus far. I appreciate your feedback.

I hate to judge too harshly but it certainly seems, just reading what’s on their web site, that they don’t know the difference between damping and grounding and isolation. At a minimum, it’s a little loosey-goosey, to use the technical term.
