| Tapping on my table raymondaMagnetic feet, airblatter systems, vibraplane or what I use......a home made sand box with about 75lbs of sand. The last option is fairly inexpensive. e.g. less than $50.00.You don’t see sandboxes much these days but they were ubiquitous 2... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? illuminatorGeoff,I thought that you’d gotten it. I just couldn’t understand why you went along and added fuel to the fire instead of just letting it die out like it probably should have.I appreciate a good troll as much as the next guy. A good tro... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? The secret is in the experiment of suspending cables I mentioned earlier. If the sound improves by suspending or otherwise isolating cables there’s a pretty good chance that the reduction of vibration is the reason. If that’s true cables and wirin... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? ethan_winerGeoff Kait said, "every environment is different and vibration sources and amplitudes and frequencies vary all over the place. Thus, any attempt to explapolate the measured performance of an isolation device’s effect on the audio signal... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? illuminatorI agree with NoNoise. I find it interesting that the original intention of this thread doesn’t seem to have been uncovered in these past two and a half months.That’s not very illuminating. The original intention of this thread was to tr... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? mapmanClearly and practically vibrations are worth some concern when dealing with mechanical transducers like phono carts and speakers. Also with devices like tubes that can clearly be micro phonic. Inherently less so if at all with most ss compon... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? wolf_garcia"I find that the tubes in my guitar amps can only be isolated from vibration by not using them. They might still suffer some vibration from seismic sources, or from people walking around them…the doorbell (rare)…but the only real way ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? ethan_winerGeoff posted a link that shows how to measure vibration, but it doesn't show how to measure the affects of vibration on audio as I requested. So yet again Geoff has failed.every environment is different and vibration sources and ampli... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? TheaudiotweakGeoff You neglected to add your personal tests and measurement results to the documents you supplied a link for. Maybe you felt your results were irrelevant or inconclusive. TomI didn’t neglect it. It’s not up to me to test anything f... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? How to measure the effects of vibration on the audio signal, for the newcomer. By "newcomer" one assumes they’re referring to folks like Ethan, Agear and Tom, not to mention Wolfie.https://www.bksv.com/media/doc/br0094.pdf | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? theaudiotweakGeoff,I want to thank you for posting all my statements and those of others a second time for all to see. TomTom, you’re welcome. I trust others can learn from your mistakes and confusion. Geoff | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... "Also I designed parts of my listening environment so that I don’t need some tweaks. I.e. Speaker wire lifters since my wires run under the 6" thick slab in a 11/2" pipe."What is the advantage of running wires in a 1 1/2" pipe under the 6" slab? | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? theaudiotweakIs the phase lag of the system also irrelevant as when the force is applied or removed and the system responds in kind? Tom This conversation can no longer serve any purpose. Good luck with your online scientific journal/manual/whatever. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? 12-18-2016 9:49pmBut Geoff you said and the engineering manual confirmed springs do have a natural resonant frequency. Just wanted to confirm your statement as written in the journal. TomTom, I said the springs have a spring rate. You said they ha... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? theaudiotweak1,455 posts12-18-2016 8:48pmThat differs from what I just read in an online engineering journal saying a spring does have a natural resonant frequency. Everything has a natural resonance. TomAs as I already said you cannot take the sp... |
