Which cone's or platforms have helped?

I am curious which Cones or platforms you guys are using on your equipment that have given the best performance? Which products have you tested head to head? Which products were a big disapointment? I am currently looking at the mapleshade cones. I am already using a large maple base like they recommend. I am posting this under digital because I have been told that it can make the biggest difference on CD players.

Abruce, I really like the huge Mapleshade heavyfoots also and the price is very reasonable ($60 set of 3) for all that brass. I like them so much I am about to order some triple point heavyfoots to see if fully tweaked out version is even better.

I have not tried the Walker or Orchard Bay cone systems, but these Mapleshade heavyfoots were easily better than any previous cone I have tried.

Cdc thanks for the placement tip: I just removed the Orchard Bay titanium's & installed the ceramic DH's last night, & am so far not impressed. Will try your approach next.

No problem. Is brass the best cone material? The "theory" is that brass is used in a bell because it rings and allows vibrations to flow through.
Not sure about the titanium. I heard the Russians made an entire submarine out of titanium because it was quiter than steel. Can't wait for the Russians to get into UHE audio ;-)
