I had chance to put isoacoustic puck minis in and spend a small amount of time with them. I left DH Cones under CD player and placed pucks under Preamp, then later tried other set of pucks under phono pre. 3 pucks sound different than 4. I'm going to try CD player last. First impression they don't show such a apparent change as DH Cones did on CD player. DH Cones keep the fullness and cleaned up the highs but did not seem like a tone control. The pucks seem more like a tone control. It does alter the highs but I need to spend more time to get use to what's going on. It is doing somethings right. It does have the rubber footer sound thing going on. It must have some type of spring in there. With index finger on top and thumb on center bottom it does not compress or move at all. Put you fingers on outer radius of bottom and it will decompress like a shock absorber. Soon as I have more time to listen I will report back lak.
Isoacoustic puck mini's or orea bronze for 12 pound tube preamp
Any insight would be appreciated. I have a Bruce Moore Preamp that I use in a second system that is wider than deep. The dollar savings going with the puck mini's is appealing plus I get 8 footers for $100 vs $150 for 3 orea bronze, I could put remaining feet under phono pre. Using 3 bronze rated at 8.5 puts me at 25 pounds. Mini's are rated at 6 pounds which puts me at 18 pounds. I've read mini's are for speakers but have also read people put mini's under components. Has anyone done this? I'm sure orea sound better but how much better? Would mini's sound better than BDR or DH Cones I'm using now, thanks for any advise.
