Thanks millercarbon. Yes I have noticed the mesh inside HFTs. I also use ECTs and I have one on top of my Kuzma 4-point 9 arm, where it sits very nicely above the pivot. That seems to be an excellent spot for it. If I remove it or move it, the sound quality decreases immediately, and dramatically. I use 8 of them sitting on top of my Moon phono preamp, and another 8 on the SR PowerCell 12 UEF SE. Also on my Prima Lunas, but fewer and not too close to the tubes. I wouldn’t think of removing any of them as I’m not a masochist!
While the HFTs work on the walls, I don’t like to use too many of them. I only use one dead center, one at the back of the listening position and one one each side wall, behind the speakers. I used a lot more at first, and the effect was so strong that I did not feel at home in the room. It was too alien and detached from visual reality. Using a minimal amount of HFTs is more to my taste, and really helps focus the sound.
