At the moment, I have a C-5 sitting on a PS Audio Lab ll cable that has been routed into an L shape right before the WAPMC.

This gives the absorber unit more surface area to sit on than trying to "balance" it on the cable. I am trying to work something up that will allow very intimate/solid contact with the power cable.

Cheers,

From your post:

"By the way, I also have come up with a mounting tweak that greatly improves the vibration transducing performance of the units when mounted to speakers/subs/component racks etc. :-)"

I am going to use the C-10s on my speakers so I would be interested in any mounting tweaks you have experimented with. Thanks

  The absorber tweak generally requires that U have a floor standing speaker but a bookshelf speaker on stands can still benefit depending on how the stand is constructed.
  
  It also requires that U have carpet/padding in your listening room as will be made clear shortly. I am working on an application that will work with non-carpeted flooring but have yet to actually get a working prototype.
  
  The absorber will be mounted close to the speaker/floor juncture with 1-5/8" course thread drywall screws, or deck screws, wound down into the carpet/padding approximately 1/2" out from the cabinet and depending on the absorber model, 3 to 5" apart. The screws should be making solid contact with the flooring/absorber.
  
  I have found the best application method is with the absorber plates facing down towards the floor and the 2nd or 3rd plate out from the absorber mounting plate making solid contact with the screws.
  
  In this mounting configuration, the absorber has solid contact with the cabinet and also has a very solid contact with the screws/flooring which then allows the absorber to transduce the absorbed vibration/energy with much greater efficiency. An additional absorber applied in the traditional fashion also greatly benefits.
  
  If your speakers sit on stands that have enough surface area for the absorber to be horizontally attached to the base, then just repeat for that application.
  
  I will try to post a pictural here shortly.
  
  Cheers,
