Does anyone know if Three Oak Cones underneath your C.D. Player make any difference to the sound quality?

I use oak cones under several peices of kit and yes they do improve the performance.

Where do you insert them? Under speakers?

Re: Oak Cones

Hi Keith,yes the most benifit is under the centre speaker where i use three Russ andrews small oak cone feet.My floor is concrete so the mains are spiked. Howerever i do use three small cones under my cd player where they affect subtle changes in the sound which subjectivly i prefer.

I suppose the bark might have affected the bytes but the trouble is they've removed it.

They could also cause excessive grain or woodworm in the soundstage.

Was - sap? I would say this thread needs to look at the root cause of isolation problems. Any decent hifi branch can also help to stop you going completely conkers!
