Weights for Tuning Enclosure Vibrations

Nice reply,Albert! --And Sam; where ya been??

Thanks for the info Albert......for the last 6-9 months or so I have been busy with headphone acquisitions, got Headroom Max amp plus Senn 600, Sony 3000, Grado 325 headphones.....time to get back to the main rig upgrading,
I think my Bel Canto Dac 1.1 needs version 2 upgrade,he,he.

I know a local Agon member with very high end system and he uses those Mpingo discs made of some exotic ebony wood on all his gear, also last year in Listener mag there was an issue about tweaks and they said those discs work also, has me wondering if there is anything to this vibration tuning.
Albert the review with the Mpingo discs mentions the triangle formation on speakers, if you can believe that.
Just to make it more confusing, Mpingo discs are directional
and can be rotated as well as moved. All this is hard for me to believe, but I have never tried them in my system.

I think I will order a couple sets of Mapleshade brass heavyhats as they are only $27 per set of three. Guy from Mapleshade said he used all kinds of weights of various materials and the brass sounds best, plus it is not aesthetically objectionable.

Megasam, for $27.00 you cannot possibly go wrong, and I agree with Guy about the material. Brass is non magnetic and nearly as free of resonance as lead.

As for the Mpingo, I have not tried them, but witnessed a demo at CES some years ago where the discs were moved from the "good" spot to a "bad" spot. The results were amazing, although I have absolutely no explanation for it.

Maybe these Mpingo guys are just super tweaks and play until they make something work.

Albert:
Your is a very brief rule of thumb for any tweak!!!! I do follow same reasoning for many things I do try in my system, as always be aware about how sound changes, different is not necessarily better let your ears and your taste be the judge

Super DH (diamond hard) Cones on speakers and equipment are quite startling, Golden Sound Acoustic discs have many uses, not only in room corners - e.g., TV chassis, windows. I think everything's's relative; we have found lead is not very good, in fact terrible, in many cases, brass is better but not as good as some other materials - the NASA grade ceramic of DH Cones to name one, depends on where you are at, so to speak, it would stick with materials that are very hard as opposed to soft or pliant.
