HRS Isolation damping plates


I was wondering if I could have some thought and views on the HRS Damping plates. Please give feed back on what and how you liked them. I have not seen any used come up so I am thinking the people that buy them love them and keep them. I realize I may be opening up a large can of words but heck its friday.

listening to FM's Black Noise and drinking wine..... Cheers,

I have two of them. After I tried the small one on my Benchmark DAC1 USB, I got a medium one to try on my Luxman P-1 headphone amp and PS Audio P500 Power Plant, which I have found to consistently benefit from weights on its top. Somewhat surprisingly, I like the 2nd damping plate better on the P500 than the P-1. I'd describe the sound with the plates as quieter and blacker, without causing the sound to, as the material would suggest, plastic-ish, like the Vibrapods/Vibracone combo. I'll probably get a few more and eventually cover everything with them. One observation: I have been listening to much more violin recordings than I used to, probably because they are no longer irritating. The biggest difference seems to be less treble brightness and overall ... calmness.
