| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Guidocorona - Ya got me! I thought you were the one that couldn't spell, but it was I.... Good one!Jadem6 - Excellent reaction! - the feeling is quite mutual, btw. You must not get out much...Seurat - of course, one might ask why the gravitational... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Guidocorona - seismic vibrations are the energetic waves that travel along the surface of the Earth that are produced by movement of the Earth's crust, especially along fault lines -- not only earthquakes, but less intense, continuous motion ("mic... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Seurat - Machina Dynamica (my company) currently makes 3 isolation devices, the most complex of which is Nimbus Sub-Hertz Platform, a pneumatic (air spring) type device. The Promethean and Nirvana are mechanical spring type devices. Nimbus is a fl... | |
| Isolation of my chair, am I crazy??? Have had good results with super dh cones and or dh squares under couch and chest of drawers in the room in customer's room; IMO no question that the furniture resonates, esp. with suspended wood floor... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? J-badov - It appears you have your concepts of isolation and I have mine. Nothing wrong with that and I agree, no need for pissing contest. There are many ways to skin a cat. I designed Nimbus platform, a 6 DOF sub 1.0 Hz device about 8 years ago.... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Clever Little Clock review hot off press at:http://www.videohifi.com/18_la_pulce6.htmif help needed translating, email me...~ cheers | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? I would use abs. minimum no. of bladders (of correct geometry) -- that is one sure way to lower resonant frequency and improve performance...fluids in bladders could overdamp things... haven't tried it, might be worth a shot, but generally don't l... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? j-badov, the equivalent performance (resonant frequency) for the VP would be obtained by simultaneously *reducing* the mass and reducing the spring rate of the thin-skin bladders. Therefore, by inspection, mass cannot be the *key* to the design of... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? theaudiotweak: in the case of our Promethean & Nimbus, we use selective frequency damping of the top plate to remove residual vibration due to seismic type, component-induced or airborne type. We also prefer the extremely hard dh (diamond hard... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? j-badov - The heavy mass used in Vibraplane is employed to lower the resonant freq. of the "mass on spring" system and has nothing whatsoever to do with inertia, as you suggested. System resonant frequency is a (strict) function of the Sq. Root of... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? J- Badov - If what you said were actually true, the mass of the entite house (much more than 150 lb) would provide sufficient isolation. Furthermore, "electron microscopes," as a class, are not the end all do-all devices you suggest; in the overal... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Cdc - are you suggesting we all go back to the 80s, (where you apparently got off)? Fortunately, many others are not quite so anxious to return to yesteryear...~ cheers | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Bigjoe - appreciate that you investigated my web site and your positive comments regarding my other audio products. I see what you mean with respect to secrecy and skepticism; however, having weathered the long debate on the Intelligent Chip (prim... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Mdhoover - I do not include return shipping costs in the guarantee; however, shipping only a few bucks -- shipping weight 1 lb. Audiofeil - As I mentioned previously, an explanation of the clock is deferred until some time in the future; don't kno... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Mdhoover - methinks tests on an unfamiliar system can be a bit confusing, esp. for a group...my money's on the dude who heard all the changes, blind and sighted, during Rcprince's test of the clock. In any case, Mr. Clock's covered by 30 day guara... |
