SOTA, soft feet or cones, when to use either?

I switched to Audio Points cones and noticed a "clearing up" of the music. Putting my SOTA on a Mapleshade made a bigger improvement (I started with a 2" slab, now a 4" slab). I tried a Boos maple cutting board, and the Mapleshade was so much better. It got the "wow" factor from my wife.

Earlier I had the SOTA on a wall mount (Target) with either the original MDF shelf or a 1.25 cutting board that fit inside the rack. The Mapleshade sounds much, much better (not using the wall shelf, just a Salamander system with the Mapleshade).

I have a relatively new Sota Saphire and hadn't really considered changing out the old feet until I ran across this post.

Any issues with threading the Audio Points onto the Sota post?

If you don't already have one, get yourself a Sota reflex clamp. In my table it noticibly tightened up the imaging - just brought it into better focus - even with the stock rubber feet.

If I haven't mentioned it before: I love my Sota! Very easy to live with and lovely to use.

No issue at all, it only sits a bit higher. I dont use my Reflex clamp all the time as the Vac hold don is good on most but for warped records it is more of an issue, there are some carts that will hit the clamp so I know others dont use it all the time either. The clamp is really nice for cleaning records, its quicker to get on and off and keep the labels dry if you get careless.

I have a Sota Star/Sapphire Table, and would like to get cones. I see a few sites that carry Audio Points. Do you know what thread I need for the Star/Sapphire table?
