Disagree with Norsorex.

Making amends, or trying to, for numerous posts in support of the use of Norwsorex (dead balls) for resonance damping, I recently discovered that they don't work like i thought they did.

I'd love to hear a reason WHY they don't work, because intuitively it sounds (to me at least) like a good idea. And I had the things under several components, with brass cones, maple platforms and cork/rubber thingies under the main components. Then not long ago I lost one of the Norsorex balls behind the system when moving a component, couldn't find it, and had to do without it. I removed the other two balls and -- what's this new clarity and openness? So I then removed all the others I'd been using and the system sounded better than it had before. Replacing them with brass cones further improved the sonics.

Anyway, I hope that anyone reading one of my old posts praising the Norsorex reads this one too :-)
