I agree. They are our favorite cones BAR NONE!
Review: DH DH cones Tweak
Category: Accessories
These are very small, very hard ceramic brown footers. They come 3 in a set, for $20. When I first started playing with equipment support tweaks, I got a basic stand and some of these. They are very good compared to the stock footer on my equipment, improving detail and imaging. I have noticed no real drawbacks, besides perhaps a little glare. The DH squares go hand in hand with these, further clarifying things, and help to smooth things out. This combo, however, is not as good as a rollerblock type isolator, which really opens up the sound, as well as reducing harshness and listening fatigue. An innertube is appropriate for some things, though it can have a somewhat blurred sound. Sorbothane also can sound rather blurred, in my experience. The DH cones do not have this problem, and so they are good where a roller bearing type isolator isn't physically appropriate. Overall, the cones work quite well, particularly if you're using stock footers. They aren't perfect, but they're affordable at $50 for both cones and squares per device, and are stable, nice-looking footers that really improve over stock feet in many cases. Recommended for those who aren't ridiculously tweaky, but want a better footer without the big bux.
