| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? Ketchup is a little slow out of the bottle today. We’ve already addressed his concerns. | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? Then why are you quibbling? 😛 | |
| The Science of Cables Of course you don’t have to consider quantum mechanics for almost all everyday calculations or observations. So let’s not get too carried away. Nor does the FAA or Boeing have to consider quantum mechanics when it performs its extensive and compre... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? larryi Of course it doesn’t provide complete isolation, the question is whether it does a reasonably good job of isolating whatever is on top from vibration originating from whatever the platform is sitting on at its price point. It is not going t... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? jnorris2005Much has been researched and implemented towards controlling resonances of the tonearm and cartridge, but, depending on it’s construction, the actual table itself will vibrate and resonant well into the audible range. Those resonances w... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? gs5556774 posts03-21-2019 9:07pmI don't buy it at all. The people who have an economic interest in vibration isolation aren't playing around with magnets. They offer products that work:https://www.newport.com/c/table-top-isolation-platforms>>... | |
| How much do we at A'gon influence the industry? larry572974 posts03-22-2019 6:40amOne of the retailers in Denver cautioned me about Audiogon because he felt some of the information was not always accurate. I noticed some some people to mention Klipsh and Kef which I do not consider to be audiop... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? jnorris200546 posts03-21-2019 11:36pmCommon sense dictates that levitating the turntable would increase its susceptibility to airborne vibrations. It may decouple the table from its mooring, but that isn't the only source of vibration.>>>... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? Hey, ketchup, we already know that no iso technique is perfect. Give the guy a break. There’s no harm in puffing. Most good audiophile iso devices are only about 50% or less effective for vibration below 10 Hz. | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? Also, be aware that if you’re really clever the “stops” on a mag lev device, like the ones on the Relaxa, that prevent the top plate sliding off onto the floor can be very slender steel threads, greatly minimizing contact between the lower half of... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? I suspect whether the Relaxa performance is equal to or better than equal priced devices would be rather difficult to prove. It would be an interesting undertaking to compare the top 10 iso stands. Good luck to whoever volunteers. As for magnets i... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? Actually, mr. smarty pants, you’re wrong. Mag lev is an effective isolation technique. That’s why Relaxa is still in business after all these years. Why do you think Verdier went to the trouble to use mag lev? For the isolation! Hel-loo! Same reas... | |
| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? Blind tests are in reality almost never performed. I hate to judge these things too critically but it appears blind tests are primarily a ploy by naysayers and pseudo skeptics to try to argue their case that such and such cable or tweak must be bo... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? Magnetic levitation is used to isolate the heavy platter for the Verdier Turntable and for the turntable popular on YouTube last year. Air bearings have issues, too, but are a little easier to deal with than mag lev. Been there, done that. 😛https:... | |
