Ed;
 Shucks guy that's "technical enough for me :-) yep thats what I consider 
"plate ring" and in as many venues as you operate in that use miked 
instruments I can see where it might be a problem. I think that Ron's 
suggestion of a plate strut might change the mass characterics enough to at 
least quieten it down, if not eliminate it.  There was a recording studio 
here years ago that had an old M&H with quite a pronounced "plate ring" 
especially showed up in the recording process...we cured that problem by 
putting a 'huge' old bass speaker magnet on the offending strut...it worked 
but it was the sound engineers idea not mine :-)

 As for the "CF" they have 'sand cast plates' and have never had a v-pro 
plate if I'm not mistaken.
