| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Rotarius:Why not try to minimize the problem by first isolating the chassis from the rack and then dampen the chassis?Because isolating will 1) increase the number of vibrational modes in the system since each component will be vibrating at its ow... | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Newbee, by rigidly coupling the CVDP to and appropriate damping shelf and stand the vibrations would never be there to begin with. Quoting the "Bad Vibes" article:This, then, is the most practical solution for a good supporting platform: Employ sp... | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Rotarius, your explanation makes sense. However in the case of a CDP, the CDP itself has vibrations so you're not just trying to isolate from floorborne vibrations, you're also trying to get rid of vibrations in the CDP itself. Will an isolator/da... | |

| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Or suffer yourself and plow through the article, it's heavy reading:[/url=http://stereophile.com/reference/52/]bad vibes[/url]Newbee, I don't think ceramic stone has a resonance, I could be wrong though :-).Rotarious, question is do you prefer to ... | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Wood = okay but ceramic (pumice) foot sanding stone material is more neutral than wood if that's your preference. Ceramic replaced everything I tried, included roller feet, sorbothane, wood, vibrapods, etc., etc.Stereophile has an excellent articl... | |

| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Thanks Sutts, interesting comparison to the First Watt as that also looks like a good design concept.Muralman1, from what I understand the definition of "chip amp" they are NOT digital as in switching power supply.

| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Agree about chip amps being great but don't think they have the drive of bi-polar solid state. They just can't pass that much current.Digital and chip amps are not the same thing. Look at measurements and digital switching amps (Class T or whateve... | |
