Which cone's or platforms have helped?

Like I said (thanks audiotweak) 30 posts ago. Cones under everything. You want to transfer resonance, not absorb. Your ears will love it. You don't mixed the two, like the tweakman said. Make a comittment to do one, listen, then do the other. Your ears will know the deal. It's a wild out there. Some transfer, some absorb. I'm a tansferer, and very happy for it..

Orchard Bay are made in Orchard Bay Washington and avalible only through A Sanctuary of Sound. Check this site under "Showcase Dealers". These cones come in a variety of sizes and material and are used as standard equipment on Talon speakers.

Well, Tennispro? You started (thread) this baby. Got enough? I certainly have. You got a lot of good stuff to make a good sonic decision. Let's put this baby to bed guys..

Jadem6, Not necessarily. Russian subs were and are louder because of less advanced propulsor designs. Furthermore most subs built in the last 20 years have special anechoic coatings on the hull. Modern sub designs also go to extreme measures to dampen the vibration of all machinery internally.

On Nordost Pulsars. I have obtained the best results with components using these under the shelf on which the component sits. Also, prefer them for heavier rather than lighter components, sets of 4 rather than 3. On my cdp, the best sound was with the machine directly on a Neuance, the Neuance itself on 4 ceramic cones -- not Pulsars. On the other hand, Pulsars did a good job screwed directly onto the factory support of a pair of Avanti IIIs... It's a strange world!
