Bungee Cords


I came up with the idea to secure my speakers to the stands with Bungee cords. It was originally intended as quake protection but seems to be good for sound reasons as well.

This is too funny. I thought I was the only loon (or at least
my wife thinks I am). I came across an ad here on A'gon for a
device that basically "clamps" your equipment to
some sort of base or plinth. Sort of like a big wood clamp.
In the category of vibration control, I guess. It got me to
thinking about use of a bungee cord to do the same. I ran a
bungee cord under the hardwood plinth my CDP sits on (the
plinth is on 4 anti-vibration pads so there is a gap
underneath it) and hooked the two ends of the cord over the
top of the CDP (have a rubber piece under the hooks to keep
them off the top panel). Seemed to clean up sound a bit...at
the very least - it did no harm and cost me virtually
nothing. Have floor standers so not needing to anchor them.
Glad to hear someone else thinks they help with coupling
(which is what I assume is going on with your speakers too).
