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 :-)

Can't find any of the old Norwsorex posts - tried searching for "Norwsorex"
I'm curious what you tried. Perhaps the reason they did not work was because you were putting compliance where hard coupling was required; if things improved when you replaced the balls with brass cones then that sounds a reasonable theory..now if you could replace the cones with something better..

Well I copied and pasted from your post (first sentence) But I see that you don't suffer from consistency, and you spell it differently so I'll try the other spelling.
