I used them on a host of equipment...dcs, Rowland and my CEC TL-1...never heard anything...sent them back.
Review: Mapleshade Heavyfeat/Heavyhats Tweak
Category: Accessories
Classical and jazz are my mainstay. David Stock, George Crumb, Shostakovich and Roger Sessions are a few of my reference works I use for comparison. Everything matters to me i.e...soundstaging, tone, dynamics, air, low level detail, extension, control, smoothness and lack of glare or distortions. The worst thing to have would be midrange glare or harshness in the upper octaves, next would be lack of soundstaging and focus followed by inaccurate tonal balance. The Mapleshade brass footers and weights are simply amazing and can yield improvements on the level of component and cable changes. They let you extract every ounce of capability your system is hiding...and you can adjust your results depending on how and where you place them and how much weight you use on top! My system went from muddy, rolled off and ill-defined to sharply focused, crystaline clear and full of dynamic power from the top octaves on down to below 20hz. It becomes quite apparent that what may seem to be a component/cable problem can in fact be a vibration control problem. FYI. use wood under your components for best results (maple or butcher block). The Mapleshade website has loads of free tweaks and in depth detail of how thier products work plus a 30 day gaurantee!!
