Re: Mapleshade brass footers or ?

I think as far as brass cones go, the Mapleshade are great. They "worked" better than smaller, less expensive cones for me under speakers, CDP and preamp used upon maple board. That said, I recently switched to Herbie's iso-cups with ebony gabon balls under the CDP and have enjoyed a more "open" sound and a wider soundstage.

I'm using Herbie's ebony half domes and black dots under my speakers and haven't discerned any noticible improvement or difference with these devices in this application compared with the Mapleshade cones.
I'm still using Mapleshade brass cones under my preamp. Haven't experimented with anything else in that postion...yet.

Essentially, you may need to experiment with various devices to find what works "best" in your application. But, in answer to your question, the Mapleshade cones are as good as it gets for brass cones IMO. As someone else mentioned, the 30 day return policy is a plus.
