Nitewulf- I was thinking zero G actually. But I get nauseous.... 😜i did consider moving my rack out of the room to be honest. That’s ideal.

Quick Magico Qpod evaluation:Under the Memory Player, the HRS Nimbus gives a better sense of dynamic presence and tightens the imaging. Makes the music more engaging with a better sense of pace and rhythm. That sheet metal case of the MP definitel...

I just checked. There’s a lot of effort that went into the footers and plinth for the Burmester Preamp. The footer is milled and has a carbon fiber cone on the bottom that sits on a carbon fiber disc set into a milled hollow in the plinth. The foo...

CTSooner - you are correct. It seams to be impervious to footers. I shall still try the Qpods and the Shun Mook though. Just to confirm. Might have something to do with the massive plinth the preamp sits on. I do need to try footers between the pl...

I don’t have the Shun Mooks GDR yet. The check is on its way to Shun Mook. I did just get in a set of the Magico Qpods. So I’ll compare those two to the Symposium when the GDR arrive and report.I posted a pretty thorough video about Footers, Shelv...

Geoffkait - whatever it takes. We’re audiphiles..... we do ridiculous things to get better sound. If I need to spend a bit of time getting the most out of these tweaky bastards then so be it. All in the name of good sound! Huzzah!i have no intenti...

CTSooner/Geoffkait - I’m not trying the Shun Mook Mpingo discs. I’m trying the footers, the Giant Diamond Resonators (GDR) mechanical grounding product. The Mpingo are for room tuning, the GDR are for mechanical grouanding (ie. Footers). I just kn...

Geoffkait- great post. I needed to read it a few times.  Lol. Some definitions :constrained layer damping - flexing of viscoelastic (VE) material between two layers of a stiff material will generate a shear force on the VE material. The force will...

Ok. Here’s my vibration treatment theory. It’s deducted from observation, logic, quit a bit of research (I have an undergraduate degree in physics) and what I have heard:Symposium posts on its web site that it is imperative for their shelf system ...

WARNING, this post is GOING to piss people off!!! I am sorry. The opinions I am about to state are mine and mine alone. Please don’t tear me a new you’know’what or start flaming. I am just stating my opinion heard in my room, with my related acces...

Sorry guys. The Mojo is playing in the background. Benjamin had said it was wellbroken in but had some parts upgraded before he sent it to me. I’m a pathologic believer in extended burn in to give everything its best performance. So it’s cooking. ...

I just spoke with the guys at Symposium after reporting to them my findings. He said he was not surprised. He designed his equipment to be ultimately neutral top to bottom, and I can absolutely attest to this. It is REALLY good stuff!!! I’m going ...
