| Isolation/coupling: basics? Johnmcelfresh...Right on! | |
| DVD Player Evolution Sogood51...Yes, the Panasonic has progressive scan. I never used it for any serious high quality video application, so I can't comment on that. I have seen others comment that Panasonic stuff if pretty good. They have two similar models DV-30 and ... | |
| Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack... Unhalfbricking...As you may have guessed, I spent some time in NZ as a child, and still have the right to reactivate NZ citizenship. You have a great country.I think that the worst NZ quake some years ago was near you in Dunedin. Seismic activity ... | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? Vibration is bad, except in loudspeaker cones. Isolation and coupling are good. But at some point, the law of diminishing returns sets in. My equipment does not require the extreem measures which some other folk find necessary. | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? Sean...And I'm not saying that you are wrong either, (about sonic effects) but that the technical explanations which heve been put forward don't seem adequate. I will remain a skeptic until one of the following happens:1. An objective test of some... | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? sean...When someone asks a question that we can't answer off the top of our head we generally say "send us your data". So: what evidence exists (other than anicdotal) that CD copied at low speed "sound better" and play more reliably?In this case I... | |
| Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack... NZ has earthquakes that are of low intensity but more frequent than anywhere else on earth. How near to Rotorua (SP?) are you? | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? I don't personally make audio CDs, but audio CDs are often cited as an every day application of Reed-Soloman error correction. CD ROM protocol on your PC may very well be different.One thing that I learned recently is that in current engineering p... | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? Geoffkait...And then there are land tides. Yes, the earth's surface rises and falls several inches each day. This is 0.0000116Hz. Put that in your subwoofer and smoke it. | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? Dmitrydr... My source electronics are located in a massively constructed alcove in my listening room. If I have any vibration at that source equipment it is acoustic. The phono turntable has vibration-absorbing feet. My power amps are in the cella... | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? Sean...When you lift your coffee cup to take a sip, you change the mass distribution of planet Earth, and change the distance from the earth to the Moon. This is absolutely certain, and the exact change of the distance could be calculated, but who... | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? Sean...Thanks for your input. I take your comments under consideration and will respond later. | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? OK...here is one point of view. (I'm sure you will get the other one too).Phono pickups develop their signal by vibrations of the stylus caused by the record groove. Obviously any other source of vibration will also cause the phono pickup to gener... | |
| Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack... Although I am skeptical about the need for exceptional vibration isolation/suppression for well-designed audio equipment, I can offer a few thoughts about vibration isolation.In my business (testing of missile inertial guidance systems) for some t... | |
| Help I think I blew a tweeter. My old (decades ago) Magneplanars bit the dust because I blew out the tweeter wires. My new MG1.6 have a fuse, and the manufacturer claims to have proven, by practical tests, that it is impossible to blow the tweeter wires so long as the fuse is i... |
