DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor
Was just dreaming up an ideal solution....and having a bit of fun. Dreaming aside this is some tough sledding and will always fall on the side of best efforts and never hit an ideal solution. Like isn't a mechanical diode kinda like a holy gra... 
DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor
Geez, I don’t get what all this is all about.....all you need is a critically damped buckling isolator tuned to an appropriate frequency for isolation....and a mechanical diode to take care of all the speaker vibrations, and without the phase issu... 
How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!

Like audiozenology states, furniture is no substitute for room treatments. FACT! Actually that kinda depends on how and why the furniture was built. Read, its quite easy to design and build sound room specific furniture, and decorating features, t... 
How Science Got Sound Wrong

“Facts are like cows. If you look them in the face long enough, they generally run away.”Hmmm....facts which are tied to the great wide world outside ( which last I checked we know precious little about )....or theories which at the very least h...

You are literally dead nuts on about literally, can't believe I missed that little detail....Wow.....billions and billions and billions ....that is really really big....truth be known when I first heard about those billions and billions, I thought...

No doubt about it. Billions and billions and billions, in fact I dunno that’s what I heard ...?....And btw for those keeping score....the quote was... literally billions and billions Like what happened to literally, and where did the extra billion...
