Reference 3A DeCapo " Blue Tak" question


Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows about how much Blue Tak
to put between my speakers & stand?? I think Ref 3A recommends it but not sure it is worthwhile or how much
to use. Any ideas & help much appreciated.

Blue tak is not as bad as lead or sorbethane at killing the sound of my monitors, but it does mess with the response and micro-dynamics.
Bigshutterbug is right.

I'd like to try roller bearings someday, but Vibrapods seem to allow most of the musical energy get through.
Actually, for some of us this is where audio gets fun.

When trying various speaker interfaces I wasn't measuring, wasn't really analyzing. I was listening to music that moves me. When I was impressed with how I was enjoying the music or the sound more (or less) than before, then I would try to reason out how the change might do that.

If you listen at low or moderate volumes then these sonic differences are very apparent.

If you listen loud all the time, and require absolute clarity, then you may want to clamp them down firmly to massive lead filled stands and then buy an amp with alot of power as you try to regain the musical enjoyment and experience that you used to achieve with just a few watts.
