| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @gaukus That’s great. Did it solve the problem or mitigate the problem? I still suspect that if you address and solve the source of the vibration then you might be able to avoid the majority of the tweaky encroachments into your living space. | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @gaukus When you sandwiched the cables, did the sound change for the better? Different? Worse? | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear A general rhetorical query: Why do so many here and elsewhere assume that those with six or seven figures to spend on audio gear are deaf, non-audio lovers....unable to discern good sound from bad? The inference seems to be that only idiots who w... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @gaukus@millercarbon is right, those kinds of bands would be far from ideal. Once again, its your experiment and your money but if you can't tweak your Audioengine speakers to vibrate less for very, very little money, you will be throwing good mon... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @gaukus Others may chime in because I am far from an expert. You can prevent/minimize vibration or drain vibration. Given your feedback on the second speaker behavior, you may need to do both.You will achieve dampening/preventing with the putty an... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @gaukusI would try the putty in steps. Again, think of it as installing a gasket or absorptive buffer. You describe the plate amp portion of the speaker as the part that is transferring the energy so start there. form/roll the putty into a very sm... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers Blu tack or more likely the gray map putty should be available at a goodoffice supply. Amazon has multiple blu tack options available. | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @gaukusI'm suggesting that you dismantle and maybe add a MINIMAL continuos bead blu tak or map putty....it will work like a gasket or weatherstripping. I would not, as you correctly point out, stuff anything inside. You want to dampen vibration wh... | |
| Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers @gaukusHave you considered dismantling the Audioengine speaker and damping/isolating the different components/drivers? You are attempting to minimize the cable vibration, which is actually the manifestation of the vibrating speaker. Its the speake... | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics @femoore12For the most part most people here are cool. I started visiting Audiogon shortly after its founding in the late 1990's. I was one of the young guys then and benefitted greatly from the discourse. I received alot of great advice and have ... | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics @three_easy_paymentsA nice thread and all too true. Get the basics right and the fun starts. To some, the fun is enjoying their music, to others its the erector set, Rube Goldberg complexity that brings them joy. I think we all agree, its all good... | |
| Recommendations and thoughts for end game speakers and amps You will love the 866 and the Rockports….sounds like you were at Soundings in Denver. (The Nordost recommendation). Hopefully you got the digital version of the 866, its quite amazing for the miniscule cost to upgrade. Its the best $20,000 solid s... | |

| Rank the top reference DACs you've heard @thynameAt least in my book (which is the only book that matters to me) Amir is hardly the go to guy that I would consult for advice. His and his cult like followers and their little fussy war regarding Totaldac turned me off for good. Ive heard a... | |
| Upgrade Time There are many ways to go about this and your preferences should rule the day. With that said....While every integrated is different, most do not have an active inboard linestage, in other words, they are basically an amp with a volume control.Con... |
