Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today


I bought some Jumbos to go under Preamp. Will try them this weekend, they just came in today. My tube CD player has easy access so I replaced Mapleshade brass with jumbos. I placed them in biggest triangle possible and found them a little exaggerated in the highs. I moved the back two feet 2 or so inches closer together and it smoothed out very nicely. That's as far as I've gotten. Very nice improvement over brass which I swapped back in just to confirm my findings.  If you have used the DH cones which component faired the best with the cones? I have amp, Preamp, phono preamp, turntable power supply,. I've heard 2 up 1 down, 2 down 1 up. Any advise were to place under component. I am going to buy Gaia Oreos next anyone compared the two, thank you.

Paul,
In regard to your question... I've found the DH cones to sound better under my transport than the pucks. The pucks really "deadened" the sound of the transport where the cones (points down) made it sound much more alive. The speakers I use are large stand mount Wilsons. The pucks are wonderful between the stand & speakers where the cones are sound better between the floor & the stands. Pucks or springs are under everything else except the Acoustic Revives power distribution devices which sound better (for whatever reason) with cones than the pucks. I would say in general, the cones are brighter sounding (not over the top though) than springs or pucks. 
I find that interesting, that is why I left cones under CD player it is very clear and lively with out being bright in the slightest since I adjusted cone placement. Very enjoyable to listen to and don't want to remove them. Pucks will be in Friday and will see what they can do. I see people mentioning springs, I've never used springs where do you buy and place your springs? Directly under component or platform or both? How do you determine stiffness of springs.
An interesting experiment for those with lots of cones lying around. Construct a double layer wood stand for the component, using two maple boards or Baltic birch ply. Separate the two wood layer with cones, then place cones under the bottom wood layer and cones under the component. You can use three cones for each layer for total of nine cones. This two-stage setup will sound superior to the case of one set of cones under the component.
I have Baltic birch layer sitting on old audioquest sorbathane Q's which sits on top of 3 inch maple. Next layer of Baltic birch sits on spikes with CD player on top with jumbo DH cones. Can I just buy springs at an industrial supply just curious what they do. Do they need to be stiff or have flex?

No, you cannot buy springs at an industrial supply place. You must buy my springs.
