DH Cones were one of Ken Lyon's suggestions as possible candidates for supports to be used under my Neuance platforms. They are probably very effective. But, it seemed to me that the footer material used under the platforms were only important if coupling was made to whatever was underneath. Then, sonic signatures of materials will apply and testing is necessary to reveal a preference. In my mind, I felt that to allow the Neuance platforms to perform optimally would require isolation measures. If you can believe that unwanted vibrational energy moves away from the component toward the center of the Neuance to be dissipated, then isolating this event from the environment is needed. This train of thought renders the shelf structure irrelevent to getting the most out of your components. My solution was to put the Neuance on top of Aurios MIBs on top of upturned BDR cones resting on my shelf. It All dissappears and leaves nothing to think about, except enjoying the music.
Just my thoughts. I am sure Ken Lyon can provide you with more sophisticated reasoning behind a successful set up.
