In Reply to: Herbie's Audio Lab Iso-Cups w/balls (or a lower-cost set of domes)... posted by Duster on July 6, 2007 at 08:42:53:
I've also had good results using Herbie's Iso-Cups or Tenderfeet with both the Gabon Ebony Balls and the Frosted Acrylic Balls under my Audio Note tubed pre-amp and amp. They also work very well under CD players and DAC's. The Frosted Acrylic Balls offer a slightly different presentation than the Gabon Ebony Balls. A bit more punchy and dynamic versus slightly smoother sounding respectively. The differences are very subtile and a prospective buyer would be advised to try both to determine personal preference which is not a major issue since Herbie offers a 90 day trial period on his products.
Years ago I tried acrylic domes I found for 25 cents each at a plastics store on Canal Street in NYC but didn't find the results to my liking. I found the Black Diamond Racing Cones I was using at the time to be better. I would expect that the grungebuster base Herbie offers on his version would work better. Perhaps I'll get some grungebuster material some day and give it a try.
