| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? At the risk of repeating myself I compared one of my products with the Relaxa stand 15 years ago. I agree it’s not a household name. Nevertheless..... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? Of course it’s a real product. They’ve been around a long time. | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? Who is they? People say lots of things. It’s called puffing. As I said, regarding isolation, nothing is perfect. But that is not the same as saying there’s no such thing as isolation. The issue with opposing magnets is the large sideways forces. I... | |
| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? cd318421 Yes, let’s make ourselves even more anachronistic by putting our heads down back into the sands of subjectivity. Down with blind listening tests! Not our reality. On the other hand we can be grateful that aeronautics, automobiles, broadca... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? Hey, nothing’s perfect. You could do a lot worse than magnetic levitation. You could do nothing. | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion Think of micro-vibrations like germs. You can’t see them but they’re everywhere. Skepticism is oft laziness’ ugly sister. What’s required is a plan, a long term approach to suppress, constrain, absorb, dissipate, destroy by any means available all... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." @simao : " Actually, the author DOES support that analog is superior to digital- and that digital had to recreate itself through added warmth, etc.">>>>If digital had to create itself through added warmth, etc. where is the warmth?

| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? The reason musicians can play an entire song or album or opera without a musical score in front of them is because humans inherently have good auditory memory. I don’t recall seeing Keith Richards or Jimmy Page using a musical score during a conce... | |
| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? The demand that double blind tests be repeated a number of times in a row, sometimes as many as ten times, greatly increases the probability the person tested will fail. This is why The Amazing Randi never had to pay out $1 million in his Million ... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion celander1,091 posts03-20-2019 1:54amThe MG share of The Beach Boys recording pretty much proves my point about needing recording notes (in that case, about the sound mixing board final cut). How can one interpret a reproduced recording absent that... | |
| Component isolation Not sure I go along with your detective work. Radio frequencies, like light, are not affected by magnetic materials or by charged materials. Photons, which comprise radio frequencies, have no charge. So, crystals by themselves or “charged crystals... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion costco_emojiI don’t indulge in snake oil and tweaks like isolation and crazy power cords or special racks so I know that crap makes no difference. Well placed competent speakers in a thoughtfully treated room gets the job done from my chair. No ho... | |

| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion Trying to get the soundstage correct without a methodology is like trying to solve a bunch of simultaneous equations with more unknowns than the number of equations. Moving the speakers a little and listening a little is doomed from the start. To ... |
