| Isolation transformer -low cost power conditioner? Thanks for the help. | |
| Anyone compare Lavardin with Sugden? Bob, do you have a link for this ATI amp? It sounds interesting. Thanks | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Hi Newbeeexactly what amplitude must this resonance reach before it actually affects the SOUND of the componentI'm not going there. I will not put on the facade that I have all the answers to everything. Some people get sucked in though, including... | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Rotarius I agree with the Vibes article that:"The goal of vibration control is to minimize the relative motion between different elements that comprise a system""Rubber is used to isolate a jet engine from an aircraft frame"Sure but the engine wil... | |
| 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... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Vinyl lovers can de-mag their cart with this LP:Cardas LP | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Degaussing CD:demagnetizing test tonesGot mine on Stereophile test CD #3 | |
| Stereophile review of the T-Amp $34.90 for an amp? As usual Stereophile always goes for the high dollar stuff. Now here's a better bargain, has nice RCA's on the back too so you don't need a "Y" connector for the inputs:$15.00 Audiophile amp | |
| Recommend LCD / plasma TV ? Thanks. Elizbeth, I compared the 1,300 brightness (Polaroid?) with the 4,000 brightness rato Samsung and couldn't really tell a difference with HD-DVD.The smaller 26 and 32" all seem to be LCD. I've only heard of plasma in the bigger sizes.Heres t... | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Newbee, I agree. I should've been more clear, how about this:pumice stoneThis is porous like miniature concrete blocks. | |
| 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 Murlaman1. |
