Many engineers, supposedly the arch enemies of audiophiles, identify springs as the best form of vibration control. I use springs exclusively on amps, CD players etc with good effect but have yet to find springs to use on speakers as they render floorstanders unstable.
Vibration isolation or absorption?
You see those pointy things at the bottom of a speaker that are very very sharp. Arguably a weapon in the wrong hands. And then you see those same pointy things inserted into a disk.
So the pointy things, aka ‘spikes’ , can Channel vibration elsewhere and away from the components and speakers, or they can isolate it.
Seems channeling vibration away from a component/ speaker, which I guess is absorption, is preferable.
Is this true? And why do they keep saying isolation.
