Yamamoto
Yamamoto Sound Craft Corp. Japan


I will make my remarks plain, short, and sweet. The Yamamoto PB-9 Ebony Cones and PB-10 Ebony Cups are fastballs down the pipe. They can be used separately (the cones under a CD player and the cups under speaker spikes, for instance) or together, as I did. I had the same positive results with every component I tried them under. They did no harm that I could detect, but enhanced the sound, with deeper and more focused bass, richer tonality, and, as with most cones, an added measure of precision. The Yamamoto bases are a relative bargain. Try them out. I think you'll be impressed enough to buy a few sets.

Yamamoto, MGB-1

The MGB-1 is the ultimate Yamamoto audio base. Both of the two large African ebony disks of each unit house a powerful Neodeme ring magnet, and the magnets are aligned in opposing polarities so that the top disk "floats" above the bottom disk. Additionally, the top and bottom surfaces of each unit sport a triad of ceramic contact pads for additional stability, and the guide posts between the magnetic rings are coated with Teflon to minimize friction. The bottom line is that the MGB-1 not only imparts the resonance-tuning that Yamamoto's other African ebony bases are well known for, but also provides the kind of mechanical isolation that only pneumatic and magnetic platforms have offered in the past. But because each MGB-1 base can be positioned independently under an audio component, these units allow one to better manage uneven weight distributions (e.g., heavy transformers at the back of an amp) than when using significantly more costly isolation platforms.

Use with loads between 8 and 40Kg.
