Synergistic PHT... any other PHT heads here?

I ordered the black widow/ green dream pack. I’ve been playing with black widow. Yea the pht is phuckin cool 😎
I’m listening to Stan Getz and it’s like he’s about 6 ft in front of me... it’s strange I can’t feel the air coming out of his horn. Like, it’s so real but I’m staring off into nothing and it’s not coming from a speaker. It’s like Getz just materialized in the middle of my living room. I haven’t tried the green dream. Anyone else using these, any using more than one? Where are you placing them? Mines on the front of my cartridge like a rhino horn sticking out into the room, it’s not on top like in the literature... my setup wouldn’t allow it.

Ordered the Black/Green combo. Tried both separately with a small but discernable difference. 


Then put Black Widow on the headshell and the Green Dream on the arm near the pivot point. 


Much more wide open soundstage. Petty's Wildflowers and the Rest vinyl was huge and enveloping. M83s "Raconte-moi in histoire" was tight and deep. Yuko Mabuchi's first album was just sublime and her piano hung in the air in front of me  


I'm not sure these are worth the $200, but they do make a difference.

So, I decided to move both the Green and the Black onto the headshell and corrected for TF. Put on an original pressing of Rush - Grace Under Pressure.

Much more constrained and limited soundstage. So I placed the Green back by the pivot and things returned to the new normal.
