Their prices are decent, and there are discounts too, depending on how many you buy. I've just topped up my collection of RDC5 feet and Combi Bases.

Re: Clearlight Audio RDC cones etc.
They seem to be selling at a good price. Have you tried them under your amps?

Re: Clearlight Audio RDC cones etc.
I got hooked on wood isolation cones. Bought them from fleabay but found dealing direct was even cheaper.
Try www.acornwoodturning.co.uk
They are excellent in my view.

Re: Clearlight Audio RDC cones etc.
I like both the oak cones and the RDC. Under my Cube 1s, I prefer the RDC.
Important: If you are replacing the feet of your NVA amplification (power or integrated) then the replacement feet must be at least as tall as the original NVA feet, to ensure sufficient airflow around the base (particularly import for those amps that dissipate heat from the base). If you replace with shorter feet, on any NVA power or integrated amp, then you will void your warranty.

Re: Clearlight Audio RDC cones etc.
I bought some, used, some time ago, and when I eventually get brave enough to rip my second system down and rebuild it with some new additions, the RDC cones and Composite Bases will be going under the amp and CD player, and probably my Schiit Wyrd. I've got another solution planned for the DAC.

Re: Clearlight Audio RDC cones etc.
I use these under my Cube 3's, I find them to be very good cones at a reasonable price. Would love to compare against RDC's.
I do not use them under any of my other equipment, just interested if anyone had tried cones under NVA electrical boxes.

Re: Clearlight Audio RDC cones etc.
I used cones for the speakers in by second system before getting Cubettes. I followed RD's advice and got washing machines anti vibration pads to support them as a chest of draws is not the ideal platform. The speakers in my main system have always been on solid stands and I use Bluetac to stabalise them. There is nothing underneath the rest of my NVA kit befause I do not consider it necessary. Washing machine pads support some of my other kit to provide more isolation.

Re: Clearlight Audio RDC cones etc.
I should probably have said, these will be added to my second (experimental) system. I won't bugger about with the NVA.

Re: Clearlight Audio RDC cones etc.
As a big fan of acrylic supports I tried a couple of these of eBay and they worked for me. Just turn them upside down. Other small sizes are available. Serious bargain for the money.
