| Spikes versus wall coupling Text correction:In my last parapgraph the line should read: "Bigger is not always better."Best,Barry | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Hi All,Even though there may be asymmetrical mechanical impedence between the point interface and the opposite interface of the spike there is still significant mechanical transfer occurring in BOTH directions. This pathway does not provide isolat... | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Hi Newbee,You are quite correct. Coupling one of the main sources of vibration (the speaker) to the floor will allow that unwanted energy to travel towards the components. If they are also coupled to the floor (by rigid points, rigid spikes, a sla... | |
| CES05: AlexisPark 1908: comments Hi Mike,Me too! Very attractive!Best,Barry | |
| Where to put damping sheets? Hi All,I have been following this discussion regarding the use of damping in and around audio components. Please allow me to post my comments from an earlier thread that touche upon the same subject. The example discussed here involves a home thea... | |
| Isolation platform for non suspended turntable? Hi Chuck,It is important to keep in mind that vibration that affects turntables (and all other components) does not only come up through the rack from the floor. The most effective vibration control product will not only provide a barier to floor-... | |
| Designing VPI HRX turntable stand long Hi Jyprez,It is important to remember that the electron miscroscope is not subject to high volume SPLs of music as it is being used the way our audio components are. The main design objective of the granite/pneumatic mount is to address floor-born... | |
| DIY Isolation Platform Hi Yioryos,Thank you for your question and your comment.I don't consult on DIY projects but I will say that squash balls, racquet balls or tennis balls are not nearly compliant enough to achieve the low resonant frequency your project will require... | |
| DIY Isolation Platform Hi Jahaira and Psychicanimal,Whenever a compliant mount is used under a component, the amount of compliance (how springy the mount is) must be optimized for load weight. A mount designed for a very heavy device like a large transformer or motor wi... | |
| DIY Isolation Platform Hi Nick,Any rigid mounting of your Rega (such as a spike or cone) will allow vibration to travel in BOTH directions - down out of the player and up from the floor INTO the player. The same is true when placing a piece of any rigid material under t... | |
| Sound Proof??? Hi 6month,If you properly decouple the speakers from the floor a great deal of the directly-coupled mechanical vibration now being sent to your neighbors will be reduced. Another benefit is that vibration will not be able to travel through the flo... | |
| Has anyone tried vibrapods with the Sony XA777ES Hi Davehrab,I just want to make a point of clarification - Vibrapods are made of Neoprene, not Sorbothane.Best Regards,Barry KohanDisclaimer: I am a manufacturer of vibration control products. | |
| Fidelity Hi Rcprince,You said: "Maybe the WAMM or the IRS V in a huge room can get close"As it happens, I own a set of highly modified Infinity IRS speakers and I am powering them with over 8,000 watts of power (more than double the amount of power intende... | |
| Fidelity Hi Tim,The term "dynamics" refers to the DIFFERENCE between the softest and loudest amount of sound the system will produce without overloading. The softest sound discernable will be determined by the resolution of the components and the noise flo... | |
| Fidelity Hi Tim,I'm sure many of us neurotic audiophiles here (myself included) are envious of you that you can just sit back and enjoy the music that comes out of your system without dwelling too much on what the system does do versus what it doesn't do. ... |
