| 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... | |
