Vibration


Ever hear of putting front end gear on separate isolation platforms
On the floor instead of a rack?

You have built a storage capacitor for the vibration to reside longer than is natural. The vibration will regenerate faster than you can impede, muddy and store. There are more effective means. Good luck. Tom
Huh is also my response to isolation claims. If you have a band pass of 3hz to 6hz provided by a spring system how do you deal with the other 94% or more of frequency's that are self generated by the electronics and left to remain. How do they get out? What about them there vibrations beating around in their cage with no place to go? How do you deal with all of that? Just wondering. Tom
Yes

Having separate mechanical ground planes for each piece of equipment makes for a noticeable improvement. Also there is increased lateral rigidity because of the floor proximity to the piece of gear as well as a shorter path for vibration to migrate to ground. All these factors makes the sound stage more clear, mid bass punchier, overall texture of sound is more dense and complex. Tom
Electrons and atoms as they move generate vibration. You don't want to trap the vibration you want to provide a way for it to leave.Tom
So you isolated the amp from itself? How'd you do that? I know how I do that but it ain't isolation because that ain't possible.How's the lateral stability of that spring? Tom
