Damping Plates

Lots of discussions about isolators and couplers used on the bottom of components but not much said about dealing with internal resonances using damping plates on top of the equipment. Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) is one of many manufacturers that make such devices but, like all things with an audiophile label, they can get expensive. Low-cost alternatives such as scuba dive weights have been mentioned by some.

Have you tried damping plates and were there worthwhile improvements in sound quality?

“I’m saying trying them is an experience that will help you learn to evaluate and select the really good stuff.”

One of the very few posts by millercarbon that is spot on...LOL. 
Most of the isolation, dampening accessories comes with return policy. I encourage you to try as many you can in your system and keep the ones that makes the most audible improvements.

HRS dampening plates are very effective and elegant, thus earns my recommendation but like you said, they can get expensive.
