dh cones on Neuance platforms

Rny,

He had suggested that I might possible use them under my SACD player resting on top of the Neuance plaform.

He provided the spikes to be used under his platform. He said it may or may not improve the sound.(but would probably me the unit less stable.)

Richard, I am sure that Ken's suggestions are directly in response to your specific requirements. Proper component coupling to the platform will provide the pathway that the Neuance relies upon to perform effectively. I think that is why what is under the platform isn't as critical. Basically, the positive effects have already taken place. For my situation, I needed to try decoupling everything from my shelf.

The previous Neuances were voiced to sit atop upturned cones or better-yet "spikes" fastened to/through your shelving. Ken generally recommends using the component's stock feet ABOVE the Neuance to avoid a spectral shift, unless wanted. Now his thicker Neuances are voiced to NOT require the bottom-spiked isolation, for greater convenience. he claims they're even quieter. I might try one, as I've been VERY happy with the Alpha and Betas I use under my CDP, pre and next my flimsy-cabineted MD100 tuner. Where I couldn't risk tapping small upturned screws into inner shelves, such as the finished TOP of my furniture rack, I use short, upturned cones, so the newer stand-alone version may be in order.
