Sort Kones can be just as effective when used in sets of 3 vs. 4, sometimes even more so. Since 3 points always defines a plane a component will always avoid any potential "rocking" with 3, compared to using 4 which can sometimes allow a bit of a rocking motion. It depends on how you position them to best support the weight of the component as to whether 3 or 4 is preferred for any specific application. Experiment with positioning one cone directly under the heaviest section of the component, which is usually under the power transformer, and then others as needed to achieve the best possible stability. While the different versions of Sort Kones provide different sonic effects, you can also experiment with the less costly AC or BC versions and compare them to the TC. The most expensive is not always preferred in all situations. I would suggest avoiding the least expensive AS version (Steel ball) since the *C versions Ceramic ball is much more effective. Have fun!
