| How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration I use marble or ceramic tiles stacked to form slabs with specially designed tempered high carbon steel springs underneath, you know, your basic mass-on-spring isolation... simple elegant effective. (Manufacturer warning) | |
| How to remove harshness from my digital gear Rrog, I can certainly understand what you mean, everything's relative. Weird the way we get used to the distortions , eh? | |
| How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration Thick slab should be OK. If you don't like the sound of the marble slab when struck with a small hammer, I suggest not striking it with a hammer when the music is playing. The advantage of a thick slab is its stiffness - resistance to bending forc... | |
| Review: Acoustic Revive RR-77 Tweak If it works with headphones we're there. | |
| How to remove harshness from my digital gear Audioengr wrote,"Geoff - the CD sounds thin due to jitter from the badly formed pits. Rip the CD with dbpoweramp to .wave file and then rewrite onto a CDROM using a good writer and you will experience lower jitter. Reclock the CD transport and you... | |
| How to remove harshness from my digital gear Most of the problem is related to the CD. Stock off the shelf CDs almost always sound harsh, tinny, thin, generic, boomy, grainy, two dimensional, distorted, uninvolving, boring and metallic. | |
| Amazing Upgrade for Oppo 93/103 and CA Players I rather suspect it's not cost effective to stock parts or even take the time to evaluate mods for last year's models. The big push now is for OPPO 103 and 105. | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Gbmcleod, I agree, the chips don't always work, but I also think sometimes the effect can be subtle, so until the system gets more resolved the effects might not show up. It's also not clear how long these chips take to "settle in," if at all. I h... | |
| Vibration Tom, you need to discharge the "capacitor." I do not like stored energy any more than you do. As I already intimated "discharging the capacitor" is fairly easy and actually rather trivial compared to advanced vibration isolation techniques - you k... | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Did you happen to try the fuse both ways? | |
| Whats your current Reference CD at the moment? Dead Can Dance Anastasis | |
| after TT upgrade, digital sounds like crap- help Let me guess, you don't treat CDs. Am I right? | |
| Vibration Tom, please share your ideas. If they aren't Top Secret I'd love to hear them. | |
| Vibration How so, Tom? Am I missing something? | |
| Vibration Tom, that's easy. Damping. Let the vibration isolation system will deal with structureborne vibrations above 3 Hz. |
