High End Isolation - HRS, SRA, Active platforms
Our Nimbus and Promethean isolation stands incorporate "selective frequency damping" and viscoelastic damping to "quiet" the top plate and other critical parts. Our damping techniques address airborne and component generated vibration as well as r... 
Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it
Bob P. What Galileo showed was that all objects are affected equally by the "accelerating field" (gravity). This acceleration is independent of the height from which an object is dropped. So, It's acceleration, not speed, that is the whole point. ...

Mapleshade integrated Record COUPLING System
The record between sheets of glass in the oven technique is risky; the temperature must be very low and the record should not be in the oven for more than a few of minutes, otherwise you risk melting it. Experiement with inexpensive records first ... 
acoustic system resonators
