Before isolating the amplifier from the vibrations coming off the speakers... isolate the speakers vibrating, your source, your floor, your walls, your rack/stand holding all of your equipment.Saying that, getting the energy into (springs for exam... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? +1 kairosmanYeah, I don’t drink, smoke, or gamble (well except driving on the roads in West Texas) Finished building a pair of stand mount speakers that I still have, after sending them in for paint, which was by the guy next door to the speaker f... | |
| Recommend speakers for Hegel H190 I have only heard a Hegel H360 once and really liked everything about it, and was pining for the H590 before I settled for a used USA made power amplifier.I don’t understand why (in this market) any highly resolving quality product that meets gene... | |

| Explain what is a clean power amplifier? millercarbon - you cheeky buggar! I'm still smiling.douglas_schroeder I was sincere in my congratulations, if I were able (and able to convince my wife) to invest the time and evidently money you have I would most probably go for it. I have looked... | |
| Why are there so many wooden speakers? There is certainly some truth to Kenjit's posts on cabinets being a potential compromise. There are other materials that are by far superior, and generally to implement them correctly would cost substantially more. The resulting products would als... | |
| Why are there so many wooden speakers? HD3 laminated with 4mm sprung steel plate. Lined with two different densities of open cell Dupont brand memory foam. Full Duelund internal PCB free crossovers... Close to $3k just in raw crossover components.@kenjit - you probably don’t even know ... | |
| What type of cord is this and where can I buy it? I looked on Ebay and found used Sony Handycam CCD-TRV98s for sale used.I would guess that it uses a three conductor 3.5mm jack not a four conductor. I would also guess that a standard stereo jack could be tested swapping them into the RCA for vide... | |

| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! @fsonicsmith What finish did you go with on your Devore O/93's?I did go look them up and they have a classic look and I was particularly taken by a couple of the book matched wooden baffles in a few photos. | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! @fsonicsmith the Gaias I suspect are more rigid than springs in a zero stiffness tuned loaded spring rate for >10Hz isolation?I for example would NEVER place 4 correctly loaded springs under your Devore O/93 where the spikes would be placed. WH... | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! @audiopoint - I don't want to leak information from my former employer that isn't already well known or certainly available from other vendors quite well known and represented here in the forum, or available on his website.In response to your use ... |
