This is another area that a little goes a long way and too much can cause more harm. Richard Vandersteen put out a paper on isolation for speakers. He expressed caution in having to much isolation based on the facts of the movement of the speaker drivers. The movement of the driver is critical to its function. The speaker has to have a solid stable base that allows for the driver to function and perform at its best. If the isolation detracts or takes away from the driver movement the sound and performance can produce bad sound. Experiment with options, let your ears be the judge but start small and know when the solution starts to be negative.
Butcherblock Acoustics "feet" effecting sound and isolation
Hello, general question here do you believe the feet being used under a Butcherblock Acoustics platform effects the overall sound? I'm using metal spikes resting on metal decoupling discs that I ordered from Butcherblock instead of the stock rubber feet it came with. I have maple butcherblock under my phono preamp (3 inch), all tube preamp (3inch), and amplifier (1.5 inch).
Also do you think I could be over isolating with all that? I'm gonna do some experimenting this weekend but just wanted to see if anyone had thoughts or opinions on it. I've read good and bad things about isolation and over doing it. Thanks for any responses!
