What are important features in a listening chair
Satellite dishes need to be larger for weaker signals (for the same frequency). It’s the same thing with cupping ears. As you turn the volume up and/or improve room acoustics cupping the ears is much less impressive.

Robert“...we’ll call this a simple misunderstanding.”Robert, this whole discussion is a misunderstanding on your part of the physics involved. God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason. What’s needed is a comprehensive “belt and suspenders”...

Tom“LIGO is mechanically grounded to Earth.”>>>>>>No, actually it’s not. You haven’t been paying attention. LIGO must be at least 99.999% mechanically decoupled from Earth to be sensitive enough to detect gravity waves. I trust y...

Geez, now I’m thinking maybe I should revive my Ortho Ears ear prostheses that make your ears look just like Mr. Spock’s. It’s only been 25 years. Metaphors be with you.

LIGO Is a giant seismometer. Tom, don’t you know what seismic waves and seismic isolation are yet? Here’s a quick study sheet for you courtesy of LIGO isolation page.Vibration IsolationFor an instrument that needs to remain as still as possible, i... 
Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
I can get into the spirit of The Gate actually, as I am not on house AC at all. No circuit breakers, other circuits, power cords, fuses or AC Ground. I have the lowest noise and distortion and the greatest resolution I’ve ever heard. If your nose ...

JA is such a newbie. So funny!

Oh, great! The other dude who doesn’t think there’s any such thing as isolation. Buckle your seat belts, gentle readers, this ride could get bumpy. Still mumbling about shear waves, eh, Tom? That never gets old. 🙄 OK, you may go ahead with Damage ... 
How to remove Sorbothane feet stacking marks.
Some marks cannot be removed. Could there be actual bonding of atoms? Who knows? Sorry to bring bad tidings. But the good Gnus 🐂 🐂 🐂 is that the Sorbothane itself was removed. One of the biggest scans ever perpetrated on gullible newbies. Sorbotha... 
Replaced CDP w/ Transport; Now, Soundstage Changes Dramatically w/each CD. Why?
The two problems I see are (1) scattered laser light getting into the photodetector and (2) the CDs tend to be out of round and thin and flimsy, so when spinning at high speed, they flutter, vibrate and wobble. If the transport was vertical the pr...

If springs weren’t part of LIGO’s comprehensive and complex approach to seismic vibration isolation they would never have been able to detect and observe gravity waves, the amplitude of which are atomic scale. In fact, the observation of gravity w...
