What is sound floor


As a novice, kinda interested in learning what exactly "sound floor" is. I could guess, but then again, why do that since there are so many of you out there who can 'splain it to me...

And, how does weighting down components with slabs of stone improve it? Just for the sake of living up to my user ID, I'm considering either granite or marble (the cans of maple syrup just ain't cuttin' it right now, although it is better when warmed slightly). Thanks.

Gosh, Redkiwi, isn't our life complicated. I use a 25kg iron weight on each of the output transformers of my Jadis 500, also one each of the same heftyness on the Spectral 360's and one on my DAC. Cannot say that my music is without PRAT and I feel, that I would notice GROSS time smearings and this especially in music which I am familiar with from live events. But all the same. I will go into this again and listen with and without weighing the components down and report. Cheerio
Hello Redkiwi, I am very grateful for your last post, because I am indeed not quite happy with the rendering of the bottom end, not deep bass mind you, which my subs take fairly nicely care of, but bass from about 30 hz up. Perhaps it is indeed a question of energy storage within the amps in question. I'll have to go into this. Cheerio and regards,
