| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? bdp24 - It makes sense that doubling up on springs would create unstable results. Perhaps, like driving on a washboard surface?My table is non-suspended and I installed the new spring based feet. I can tell you that my sound is smoother, the backg... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? I have eliminated the oscillation with just the subs on and the arm down and stationary, but if I'm playing music through just the subs, I will get oscillation raising the sub amp volume.i can play my whole system up to my normal listening levels ... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Toddverrone,I am not doubting the benefits of using springs, when applied correctly will provide benefits against mechanical isolation. I had mentioned that I'm getting upgraded feet that are made by my table's manufacturer that are designed with ... | |
| Rack stabilization alternative to lally columns and beam? Bob - Okay, now I get what you were saying!There seems to be two different trends of thought here. One (Geoff) from another active post says, the rack should not be made too rigid, and you're saying to make it as rigid as possible.I can always try... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Yeah, that inner tube was just a test requested by my turntable builder to see what the results would be. The results were not good, and how much to inflate was a guess.I'm having second thoughts if this is truly a mechanical feedback issue, so I'... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Geoff -Here's the issue. Eliminating my power amps, so only the sub amps are on, I drop my arm on a stationary LP. As I turn up the volume on either sub, l start to get oscillation through the sub. I do not get oscillation if I do the same with my... | |
| Rack stabilization alternative to lally columns and beam? Bob -Yeah, I too have seen and contributed to that other thread. I started to check out the Townsend products, so thanks.I'm not sure I understand one of your comments, so I may not have explained what I'm trying to do clearly enough. You mention ... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? mains -Thank you for the Townsend recommendation, and I have briefly looked at the isolation products for speakers/subs. I started a post about stabalizing my rack, because I have it sitting out from my front wall on a bouncy floor. My rack is cur... | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? Right, good point. It would be nice to find a local guy to do realignment, so when a tube needs to be replaced, I'm not shipping the tuner off somewhere.I'm wondering how these comments are adding up for zavato? It seems that no matter what we hav... | |
| Rack stabilization alternative to lally columns and beam? Bob - those are some good suggestions, so thanks.What I don't want to do is move anything around, so I was thinking about putting Herbie's Giant Fat Grounding Bases under the feet of my rack, but I'm looking for other recommendations. Afterwards, ... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? This is very interesting, because at louder volumes my new subs will cause oscillation that's from either mechanical and/or aerial feedback. It's been in the back of my mind, because I don't get it at the volume levels that I play music, but still... | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? tablejockey,The cabinet was made by High Quality Reproduction Cabinets who specialize in the classics. They offer almost any veneer, and I wanted the Birdseye Maple. Extremely happy with their work, and I still have an original Walnut cabinet that... | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? I found the MR71 on a heap of discarded gear at a used audio joint. I'm not sure if it even tested before the mod.Kenny | |
| Rack stabilization alternative to lally columns and beam? Well, that's what I was thinking, but the rack will still be sitting on the floor, if I was not clear about that. I'm just fixing it to the wall as well, so it can't move, even if I jump up and down or push against it. I also have subs left and ri... | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? zavato - I uploaded Richard's test results sheet after his modification of my MR71 if you're interested. It's temporarily added to my system's pictures. I'm sure their are many guys here, and probably yourself as well, who can analyze those result... |
