| An interesting demonstration Have a conversation with someone at a party, in a noisy room.There is no problem paying perfect attention to what is being said.We can easily isolate the details.Put an Omni directional mic in the same room,, record everything and then try and pay... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? @kevn Thank you for the response.I’ll try to clarify my point.To the one making the early cave drawings, sure, they may have served the purpose of expression. What that expression was intended to do, could be wide ranging. I’m speaking more to the... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? I wrote this in another thread.believe it is relevant here also…When I was in film school, we had a prof who had an amazing approach to teaching.I forget the context this bit came out in class, but here goes.(this relates to MC’s thoughts on liste... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? @mijostyn If you had half a brain, you would come to realize just how much we don’t know, or understand…. Read up on Maxwell… | |

| Observation: Passion vs Obsession Obsession = controlling (which is a fools errand)And anything in the way of that obsession gets pushed aside, or pushed through.Passion = appreciation Stepping back and letting it be and appreciating it for what it is, being able to leave it and t... | |
| In praise of isolation. @audiopoint I have tried many different styles of supporting (mostly) my TT. As I stated above, I could tell the difference in varying spike materials and the “feet” they go into. (Wood/steel/aluminum - with and without sorbothane) and none of the... | |
| In praise of isolation. @henry53. What I heard at the show was very much a real thing. Eyes closed, 100% accurate when identifying the speakers and the difference in presentation. | |
| In praise of isolation. Congratulations on the IsoAcousticsHearing the demo confirmed everything for me!My turntable has springs between a base and the surface of the rack. Ingress roller blocks between the base and the TT. I polished some steel and cut it down as a smoo... | |
| In praise of isolation. @larry5729 Funny you should mention thatWas just at an audio show on the weekend, and isoacoustics had a room set up with one amp driving two separate sets of identical speakers. One pair had the Gaia footers, the others were on spikes. Eyes close... | |
| In praise of isolation. Well, seeing as how the TT weighs in just shy of 90lbs, and that the spring rate used on the 4 springs is set of a load of 96lbs, there is plenty of ease of movement. The trick is, getting the spring rate right. | |
| In praise of isolation. Kinda doing something similar. The plinth is just shy of 60lbs. It sits on roller blocks which allows for lateral movement. They sit on a 30lb platform made of MDF and sand filled. The plinth is coupled via the rollers to the platform. The whole r... | |
| In praise of isolation. Thanks! I had thought about using shrink, and thank you for suggesting poking holes. Had not thought about foam. The journey continues… | |
| In praise of isolation. Love the hockey pucks :)I made some wooden donuts and put street hockey balls in the holes and placed under my speakers. The weight was sadly too great for the balls, but I wil, be putting some industrial springs under them when I get around to pl... | |
| Telling musicians to evaluate and choose their instruments in a “scientific” way? I’ve wondered how the people over at ASR & audioholics audition gear? W a oscilloscope and calculator?As far as musical instruments go, my friends late mother was a child prodigy/concert pianist. When she turned 21, she was given a new pre war... |
