Improving a stone rack
  Hello OP, Granite is both reflective and absorbent depending on the material science and finish. The frequency of the shelves vibrating adds to the overall sonic in the environment. It creates additional noise elements or rack chatter. This ef... 
Speaker Spikes - Working Principle
  Kraftwerkturbo - OP: Spikes are $1.00 a piece and have been used to raise speakers off the flooring since the early seventies. They should “not” be driving, hosting, or used as a methodology in any conversation comparing modern vibration manag... 
Speaker Spikes - Working Principle
We would first like to point out a few items on the OP’s brass cone examples and will follow up with a functionally proven theorem that has taken the first steps to qualify as a science. Cones (spikes) - the Shape is rarely talked about. Using th... 
Can an audio rack be that important?
Hello Mitch, Thank you for providing me with greater insight on many topics.  No. 4 is claimed by just about all designers. I apologize for the redundancy in that statement.  A marketing survey of rack companies shows that LiveVibe Audio is ... 
Can an audio rack be that important?
What makes an audio equipment rack good? 1 High Audible Function (any Component or Loudspeaker). 2 Includes Vibration Management Technology. 3 Reduces Operating Temperature in All Electronic Components. 4 Design using Physics and Geometry as... 
Why are speaker stands so expensive?!
Did You Know? Physics dictates that the stand supporting any loudspeaker establishes a mechanical relationship combining material science, geometry, and mass to functionality. This marriage impacts the sonic performance of the loudspeaker. The st... 
Vibration isolation or absorption?
@ emergingsoul Thanks for the advice. We will make an effort to do so. The equipment changes often. People who work here spend more time listening versus equipment setup, imaging, and marketing. The Energy Room is open for auditions. Hearing the... 
Vibration isolation or absorption?
Hello jumia,  The system we use as a testing facility and musical reference system are located in Wisconsin. The Energy Room is open to anyone for an audition by appointment only. https://www.audiogon.com/systems/8168 https://livevibeaudio.com/... 
Vibration isolation or absorption?
  Robert, I find your continued dishonesty, coupled with arrogance, to be deeply off-putting.   OK Whipsaw,  If you have nothing for me on a technical or musical level, please write me off.  You have attacked my honesty. That aggravates me... 
Vibration isolation or absorption?
You seem to be taking a negative view on isolation and absorption merchandise sold by audio enthusiasts. And then in your final section you say that vibration management tools makes sense as part of the sound reproduction process. Hello, emergi... 
Vibration isolation or absorption?
You are indeed playing semantic games, and are clearly biased given that you have related products for sale. Also, please stop with the straw men. That difference that can be very important, and your attempts to conflate them, presumably for mar... 
Vibration isolation or absorption?
  Can you provide examples of which firms do mechanical grounding Products? Hello, jumia, Not many of us have the patience and capability to apply the correct geometry and material science formulas for audio products. Unlike a spring, absorpt... 
Vibration isolation or absorption?
You are suggesting that springs, used in combination with dampers, are coupling devices? Would you characterize shock absorbers, used on every car in the world, as coupling devices? Hello, whipsaw, Yes, the coupling is when any product comes ... 
Vibration isolation or absorption?
Atmasphere, You missed my point.  Killing vibration is stupidity because you cannot destroy it.  Manage it, yes, but vibration-forming resonance never goes away. Electricity vibrates causing the issues you deal with on a daily basis. Did you ... 
Vibration isolation or absorption?
ISOLATION IS THE NUMBER ONE MISCONCEPTION IN AUDIO Springs, discs, pucks, squish balls, pads, cones, spheres, and all the materials have retailed in audio since the late 1980s. All these devices are coupling products according to the empirical l...
