Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Hi Couvjazz,In my reply to you I discussed Corian. Even though I do not recommend as a vibration control material, I do think it can have some very intersting applications for speaker systems. Of course, it depends on the design of the specific sp...

Hi Ed,>Barry...you're OK.<Thanks. My dog seems to think so, but I'm not so sure about my wife sometimes! :-)Best,Barry 
Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Eldartford,I would suspect that in the electronic platform in your lab either the piezo elements sense vertical or horizontal displacement and feed servo motors that provide correction or possibly the piezo elements themselves are the motors. A 60...

Hi Albert,Thank you for your reply.Considering that a few Audiogon members (Buscis2, Tireguy and Ohlala) did voice some concern about specific commercial comments by manufacturers as being inappropriate on the Audiogon forum, I would like to get t... 
Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Hi Albert,Thank you for your kind comments. I did visit the Purist Audio room during set up at CES. It was quite possibly me who you spoke with at the show.As far as your other question is concerned, I am under the impression that I must identify ...

Flex,I tried to log out and then back in but I still can't find an EDIT option near my post. Thanks,Barry 
Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Hi Flex,To answer your question adequately would require discussion of my products and that would not be appropriate in the Audiogon forums. I will attempt to answer you in more theoretical terms.The most important concept for understanding how vi... 
Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Hi Eldartford,Thank you for your question.A well designed active (I assume you are describing an active pneumatic isolation mount) can do a good job by decoupling the device placed atop it from floor-borne vibration. There are several limitations ...

Couvjazz,Addition: I do not advocate the use of a three point mounting system. Using only three cones under a component (a popular practice) which reduces chassis "chatter" by allowing the three points to more easily define a plane so the componen...

Question - is it possible to edit a post after it has been posted?Barry 
Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Hi Couvjazz,The interface between the component and whatever is placed beneath it is critical. Whatever is placed there has its own resonance frequency and depending on its size and mass will change the resonance frequency of the component. The su...

Stehno,I'd like to also add that merely decoupling a component from floor-borne vibration will not completely eliminate vibration. Nor will only damping the component achieve the goal. Battling vibration effectively can only be accomplished by com... 
Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Hi Stehno,If we know that vibration alters the signal flowing through a component we must endeavor to eliminate as much of the vibration as possible with full elimination being our ultimate goal. It is true that there are not ANY vibration control... 
Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse....
Hi Sean,Would you please clarify your post above. Which company do you believe had been perpetrating fraud, corruption and lies?Best Regards,Barry 
Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Hi Eldartford,While it is true that many users of my products do report long lasting erections, I was instructed by Audiogon members to include the disclaimer on my posts. Please see the thread "Can manufacturers post replies and discussions?".Bes...
