SOTA, soft feet or cones, when to use either?

Hi all,
My SOTA is on soft stock feet now but I have the metal cones aswell so I want to know when is it best to use rubber or metel and how do each affect sound?
For the "record" I am in a dedicated basement room and my table sits on a Tsrget rack with a sort of suspension shelf. Thanks for input.
P.S. I know I could try it and see what happens when changed but due to disability it isnt as easy as that............thanks!

Thanks guys, but why do cones work better and what may be the sonic benefits?

I installed the feet and re-leveled it all and it sounds a bit tighter in bass but I have no idea why but I like it! Thanks as always for all input,,,,,cheers

No issue at all, it only sits a bit higher. I dont use my Reflex clamp all the time as the Vac hold don is good on most but for warped records it is more of an issue, there are some carts that will hit the clamp so I know others dont use it all the time either. The clamp is really nice for cleaning records, its quicker to get on and off and keep the labels dry if you get careless.

I dont know but you can measure your soft feet or figure out what fits with a trip to hardware store and a foot in your pocket, or call SOTA.
