Does anyone use wood for vibration control?
My last concept for a isolation stand was a combination of viscoelastic material, bamboo and glass micro beads. Together these materials simulate the operational characteristics of the woodpecker’s head (bone, special absorptive tissue and flexibl... 
Cable insulation, graphene, electron flow... how does it work?
Strawman alert. Electrons don’t flow. Besides, from what I can tell a few layers of Graphene will still act like Graphene, though perhaps not to the same extent as a single one molecule thick layer. So painting a very thin Graphene paste or “solut... 
Does anyone use wood for vibration control?
I probably mentioned this before somewhere - the type of wood matters much less when we’re talking about the top plate of an isolation stand. That’s because the top plate is isolated from vibration coming up fro the floor along with the component....

Doing the Power Cord Thing
You can’t judge a book by looking at the cover. The secrets are hidden. Examples: 1. cryogenic treatment 2. control of directionality 3. cold welded connectors 4. continuous cast copper and long grain copper 5. silver added to connectors 6. gold a... 
The JC Whitney syndrome
Yup, removing Tube Dampers is always an improvement. The only exception being Herbies Tube Dampers, all the others being excellent examples of how audiophiles embrace an idea that seems too good not to be true.

Glubson, as with many of you posts I’m filing your last one in the file labeled WHATEVER.

I no longer sell the NASA grade ceramic cones. But Golden Sound does.

midareff135No wood here. I use sorbathane feet, spikes, lead weights and such.>>>>>You might want to peruse what I wrote earlier today here regarding Hard and Soft materials for use in audio situations. 
Does anyone use wood for vibration control?
Glubson, there are steel coil springs, steel leaf springs, gas shocks, oil filled gas shocks, air springs. They’re all springs. To qualify as a spring they have to behave as a spring. And they certainly do behave as springs - otherwise they wouldn...

Who is more obsessive compulsive, tweakers or Tuners? Let’s take maple platforms (boards) for example. You got your air dried maple from Mapleshade. You got your maple with grain running vertically and maple with grain running horizontally. There ...
