What's the best

I'm not bothered by room vibrations; carpet is layed over poored concrete. I have a sturdy equipment rack and I'm currently using the large AQ footers under my Arcam FMJ23. I have brass points and black diamond racing cones on hand but I'm hesitant to unscrew the existing feet and experiment because I don't know how the original feet are secured inside the unite. I don't want to end up with 4 little nuts laying loose somewhere in the bowels of the player.
First question - can I safely unscrew the feet of my Arcam so I can experiment with various cones?
Second question - has someone found an affordable product that makes a significant improvement in the player that I should consider?

yes, you can unscrew the feet, all of the gear I had, have the bottom panel threaded or the nuts are welded to the inside of the bottom panel or you can leave the feet in place and only use 3 cones, 2 in front, just inside the feet and one in the rear center, or the reverse ....

Rock you don't necessarily want to secure the cones to the bottom of the player. You can change the sound "tune them" by varying the spacing between cones. Cones farther apart typically is leaner / more detailed. More them one inch at a time closer together, & the sound becomes less detailed, warmer / more musical. So you can experiment with different cones & also experiment with cone spacing in order to tune the sonic signature that's most desirable to you.
