has anybody else noticed this about singers?
@wolf_garcia - I was shocked moving from one country to another, the advertisements I read out the front of shops, gas stations etc. often required a double take. I probably need medications, to overcome the vibe as you so put it.Like this made me...

Soild-tech are one of the pioneers (1995), I don't believe they copied anyone. Years ago when we were searching for isolation devices for loudspeakers, Solid-tech of Sweden and Townshend of UK (1987) were the main two to be found on the internet.S...

@derekw_hawaii - has anyone done any testing with dual-pitch compression springs?It's a discussion I've had with another user of spring isolation, and it's another way to deal with the issue with broader frequency isolation.I have seen the SoildAi...

For those of you supporting heavy speakers on springs, do you recommend stiffer or more moderate spring support? In other words, how does the supported combined speaker/stand weight compare to the total available spring loading capacity....so... 
Are all Audiophiles masocists?
@andrewkelly - Wait..... what? Anything under 10's is quick, under 9 and mid 8 is astonishingly so.I was playing, I would be very surprised if the modifications on a mid 8 second car would keep it road registered. @bullitt5094 - I used to go th...

millercarbon, please recall what I said about substrate, the more unyielding the substrate, the higher percentage of the energy will deform the springs. Did you ever bolster the floor, specifically directly under the places where you have springs ...

Sorry I got to mid 8's in the 1/4 mile and thought......That's one heck of a shopping car!  A quick trip to pick up something in that would be rather rapid!

@slaw I've experimented with weights on top of speakers in the past, not on springs and found that it's easy to overdamp the cabinet. Not always a good thing. Are you sure by adding the mass, you didn't actually overdamp, but perhaps moved the...

@uberwaltz - I haven't had much success with the cheap Chinese knock-off of the Solid-tech Isoblack, perhaps the Nobosound knock-off is better?Using the springs you tried earlier, and placed under your sub, you could add mass under your TT with a ...

In most cases you are going to be better off fixing the speaker to the floor even if you are not on slab. Okay, enjoy :-)

@mijostyn, is there any particular thing that I wrote that you question,or the entirety of my post? I mean if it's only a couple of statements, I might take the time to find evidences, however, you're welcome to dispel and write it off with no fur...
