A Sound on Sound review on the Enhanced Audio mount:

That's really hard to say, but I do a lot of choral recording so that's when I am used to hearing the difference. For instance, if I feel the sound needs a little more bass (fullness), then I use Schoeps. If I want the Schoeps but without that “fullness,” which I sometimes hear as “tubbiness,“ then I put them in the EA mount, and that quality disappears producing something more neutral. I use to demonstrate this to my class just by speaking into different mics mounted first without the EA, and then with. It seemed everyone could hear the difference, but being students some might have said they heard the difference just so they wouldn’t be the “odd man out.”I totally agree that "hearing is believing".
I can do an A/B comparison of the same mic with the Enhance Audio mount against the Neumann's schockmount.
What instruments would you advise me to record so that the difference that you found is more revealing?
Spikes make the floor part of the cabinet. If the floor is not solid then don't use spikes.People use spikes between cabinet and floor to prevent vibration of the cabinet to transmit to the floor. That's called decoupling though spikes might not be the the most effective. Spring loaded feet should be better but more expensive / hard to tune. Another way is to put your speaker on a sand filled stand, which should absorb most of the energy.
To make sure cabinets don't vibrate, we use heavy material to build them. That is partially why it's difficult to make a good yet lightweight speaker.

Love the Harrison! What’s the name of this studio?Today’s Rack, will be tracking for the next week:

And a very nice stand for the keyboard and mouse, like most commercial studios nowadays:

And the heavy cabinet theory applies to the mic and weighted mic frame.
