What isolation feet under your amp with great result?

Looking at the utter nonsense bandied about around here though maybe I am the one in the wrong place.

You are not at the wrong place.... Nobody is at the end...
But meditate these words before accusing anybody to be stupid because of their use of bags of rocks or other things you have call "bullshit" :

From "The Triumph of Stupidity" by Bertrand Russell, 1933:

"The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt."


For the «huge price tag» of some audio device , it is up to the purse of who can afford them.... All is not bull shit... Me i made ALL my controls methods with homemade peanuts cost materials or device....

Then who bull shit who?

Now this is sarcasm. Do those buckets you have scattered about work better if you cook them in the oven like people cook speaker wires?

Sarcasm is a good thing to read one time, when sarcasm is an expression making sense of something, but repeating it in the same direction without end transform it in a boring harrassing dogma or obsession...

« Sarcasm is like a good remedy for some that you cannot serve all time to everybody»- Groucho Marx



« "Open your mind, create and then observe the results" say someone after creating the universe, then we surely can make the same in our kitchen»- Groucho Marx



Anyway i wish you the best, especially in these times of ours.....

Pure isolation dont solve the resonance problem...

Solving the resonance problem dont solve the isolation one...

Some trade-off is necessary....

I chose a low cost homemade coupling/decoupling way with diverse complementeray materials... It works well for me at peanuts cost ....

Thanks for your insight....Interesting....My best Mrdecibel...

 I have order 3 sets of your footers.... Ridiculous price.... :)

I will try them when i will recreate my audio system....

Your sarcasm is yours not mine.... I dont pretend to any new science at all...

I only sugeest and have made it myself that any creative person can, with homemade only and low cost only materials, transform his system, embedding it rightly...We dont make it with "dogmas", but with experiments and listenings experience that ANYBODY can try if he is not discouraged by some self appointed "scientist"  or self appointed "debunkers" to do so...

Your accusation against all attempt to increase the S. Q. except by costly upgrading electronic parts, is a lie or ignorance; i put it on the same desk than scammers... Because you teach newcomers the wrong gospel....You push them to throw their money in upgrade, negating all simple and non orthodox solutions and called that stupid " tweaks" or scams without knowing what you speak about...

But a method is NOT a bunch of tweaks.... I have invented nothing at all, it is very simple to understand that any electronic component to work at his best MUST be mechanically, electrically, and acoustically embed...My only merit is i put it in words more clearer than most.... Thats all....If i was able to say it clearly it is also because i create it for myself.....

You are like the scammers you hate so much who ask big money for ready made solutions (but the majority of audio business is not scam even if sometimes price is too high ) you propose to all no solutions, except changing their electronic parts to better one at great expanse...

Myself i only want to explain what is clear: dont upgrade anything before embedding it rightfully...

Being an audiophile is not only buying tweaks or upgrading, it is mostly creative listening....

Would one of you care to stretch one out by explaining just how isolation feet in a solid state amp does anything but part you from your money?

Another assumption that has nothing to do with the vibrations/resonance problem which is a purely mechanical question...

Which parting of money?

Is someone who understand this problem, and want to solve it, must do it by paying necessarily an unwanted sum of money?

I have did it myself for peanuts, not perfectly, but relatively very well, if i judge by listening audible results...

If someone has money he can try to solve it at a more perfect level paying the price for sure he can or estimated necessary...

Then mixing mechanical problem, with possible scamming, with righteous business, stirring this pot, and provocatively accusing all people of being "victims " and being then stupid, or even worst "audiophiles", and honest designers to be possibly scammers, is more than any customer of this thread can ask for...

It is a bit too much to chew for one mouth sorry....Sometimes we must stop spitting....

Perhaps you must read a little about vibrations and resonance before  boasting about knowledge and ignorance?

What amaze me is the horse calm speech with blinders, explaining to all others, why it is very useful to avoid being afraid or even scammed...

I use sorbothane duro 70  in my sandwiches of bamboo,granite,cork,quartz to controls vibrations and resonance with some success at low cost....

And not only that, but using only sorbothane will give less interesting results than using it in a sandwiches with other kind of materials(bamboo, granite,cork, quartz) to couple/ decouple some frequencies...It is a partial solution not a perfect one but work for me with all my gear on the same desk....No sensible vibrations at all under my fingers at any volume or frequencies sound playing.... For sure my fingers can be very crude and is not a seismometer but that gives a gross estimate of at least a minimal efficiency....

I will improve all that with springs for a better external vibrations isolation and quartz sand bed for a better controls of resonance in the near future....

But i will stick to homemade solutions with low cost materials.... I refuse to pay thousand of bucks for some device.... It is always possible in my experience to retro engineered some basic idea....It is also more rewarding and more fun...

Anyway i dont have this money, except by divorcing right now....  :)
