Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today

I bought some Jumbos to go under Preamp. Will try them this weekend, they just came in today. My tube CD player has easy access so I replaced Mapleshade brass with jumbos. I placed them in biggest triangle possible and found them a little exaggerated in the highs. I moved the back two feet 2 or so inches closer together and it smoothed out very nicely. That's as far as I've gotten. Very nice improvement over brass which I swapped back in just to confirm my findings.  If you have used the DH cones which component faired the best with the cones? I have amp, Preamp, phono preamp, turntable power supply,. I've heard 2 up 1 down, 2 down 1 up. Any advise were to place under component. I am going to buy Gaia Oreos next anyone compared the two, thank you.

I’m not sure that a preamp is heavy enough for the Jumbo DH cones. I thought they were recommended by GS for heavy components and speakers. I could see the high frequency exaggeration if used on lightweight equipment.

I use the small DH cones in combination with DH squares under my tube phono preamp and they definitely create a nice improvement in depth and width of soundstage along with a blacker background.

Added small DH cones under my Zesto Allasso SUT this evening.  The cones sit atop DH squares.  Bigger improvement than I would have expected as the background became blacker and dynamic range bigger.
