| What makes a good equipment rack? When I was using my Sound Anchor equipment stand, I made a quartersawn oak top shelf that really warmed up the industrial appearance. I also made thick quartersawn oak platforms that I use on the tops of my Sound Anchor amplifier stands. I use t... | |
| What makes a good equipment rack? Speaking of racks and stands, and since you are good with underwater stuff, do you know much about the SRA folks and products? | |
| What makes a good equipment rack? @geoffkait didn’t those Zoethecus platforms originally use Sorbothane for the viscoelastic material Search me Wally, I have never taken one apart. I believe they are constrained layers and I know the top layer is aluminum. They are of course no ... | |

| Why Do Schumann Resonators Work? How does a Schumann resonator generate a 7.83 Hz signal in the room given that the antenna size required would be in the order of 25,000 miles? Since the Wisconsin project was able to accomplish its goal using a shorter antenna by linking with a... | |
| Why Do Schumann Resonators Work? The Wisconsin project was designed to transmit a LF wave that could be detected virtually anywhere on earth, including (clue) deep into the seas. The commercial Schumann resonator is good for about 5 feet so maybe not the same purpose? Again a g... | |
| Why Do Schumann Resonators Work? Hi Geoff,I too worked on the "you know what" project in Wisconsin.I don't want you to feel lonely with no answers to your question so I will take a pure guess based on little to no knowledge.I would venture that the commercial Schumann reson... | |
