RE: Can someone explain the science behind pointy cones?

I believe cones couple my turntable stand to the concrete slab underneath my carpet. I think the advantage of cones is that they increase the pressure-per-square-inch of the coupling surface. I can't see how they could possibly isolate anything because they firmly attach two things together.

If you want to isolate, you need to use compliant material like springs, or rubber, or even air like an air pillow.

Best regards,
