Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Yea grannyring,just like the screws that hold the whole thing together--just as essential as these BS parts mentioned herein.  
Rockport Technologies addresses cabinet vibration?
Geoffkait,would Rockport Technologies construction method of the Lyra be considered 'frame first', 'shell first'-- or is it a "tie". Cheers (I have a Norwegian background and there are still fascinating examples of ancient  "clinker built" boats o... 
Rockport Technologies addresses cabinet vibration?
I appreciate the comments regarding the efforts of Magico; and no doubt they have "obviously" 'worked hard' on vibration,as have YG Acoustics and other reputable loudspeaker manufacturers. What impresses me is the extremely simple yet remarkably e... 
Scientists create mettalic hydrogen: first use should be audio cables!
I agree, but at the moment the cables will be rather "short". Cheers. 
Looking for speaker ideas.
I suggest Paradigm. 
What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96?
An interesting question --- with an incredibly simple answer. "Dialing in" the final placement of each individual pair of speakers--by ear-- is the only valid answer. This tried and true method allows for the accommodation of all the inevitable mi... 
Materials to reduce sidewall flex & vibration ?
Just to clarify soundsrealaudio, I am seeking a composite of the 'most rigid' and highest damping' materials to use. So far the filled epoxy appears the most efficient.  
Materials to reduce sidewall flex & vibration ?
Thanks soundsrealaudio for your direction. I agree with you and am wondering what materials would do this best. 
Materials to reduce sidewall flex & vibration ?
Thanks Geoffkait. Yes smart metals have fascinating potential,along with gels that instantly harden upon attempt at deformation, but I feel the momentary time delay renders both non ideal. I think constrained damping can be more immediate. Of cour... 
Materials to reduce sidewall flex & vibration ?
Thanks johnk but the damping spray you mentioned,although it does have its application benefits, will not contribute to my goal of maximizing rigidity..  "I'm curious about fiberglass and other products that can attach/bond permanently to the sid... 
For a quick good time, blankets...
On the lighter side; sometimes I find a cozy pillow and blanket enhance my listening pleasure when used at my listening position. Cheers 
For a quick good time, blankets...
Bravo Erik.It's interesting the humorous (or is it humorless) comments made here, when in fact, you've provided a completely cost free method for "all" to learn how to improve the sound of their system regardless of the degree of refinement that h... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Wolf,I'm with you about the Synergistic Red Fuse and Synergistic Quantum Black Fuse products. ." This may be off topic, but I was just thinking about how hard it must be for the people who manufacture and sell actual snake oil."I also think psych... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Results revealed by a tester...."  I've tested these (SR Black) and found these claims to be nonsense, even while providing the weeks of break-in (!). In fact, after my little comparison to the Littelfuse (and other generally stock fuses) product... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Synergistic fuses are significantly inferior to BUSSMAN and LITTELFUSE products; from my investigations. They are not even reliably rated! Shocking potential...
