Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack...
So you think I was kidding about the cryo'd materials for a rack. The most efficient means of energy transfer and the preservation of the musical event is what I strive for in all my components.Tom

If you were to cyro the support rods and the internal conductors and the Micro Bearing fill and the shelves and the Audiopoints you would be coupled even more closely to the music....Align the molecules. The most direct coupled high speed resonanc...

I feel Stehno is correct, coupling is very revealing of the whole system. For coupling to work properly it must be carried thru the entire system..No dampening no energy storage. It is like a direct coupled amplfier no capacitive storage no blurr ... 
Isolation/coupling: basics?
So if you knew it were to vibrate and you knew of a way to direct the vibration away from its own self would you be inclined to dampen the initial vibrating device?...Tom

You now have stored and impeded the exit of resonant energy when you added the sand to your rack..You have a conflict of mechanics within the rack itself. You say the rack is designed to couple and then you filled it with dampening material. One w...

Actually I am running a Ultra Link 2 modified of course like everything else I own.. I have had in house a Audio Note..Recently have tried a one box Krell SACD that sounded really great on redbook cd's... That was a first for me, a SACD that playe... 
Review: PS Audio Lambda two Transport
I use the same transport. Excellent piece..From what I read several years ago this transport has some of the lowest jitter measurements ever reported by Stereophile. The loading system can stall sometimes, only in the winter. This may be caused by...

Thank you Sean. Error correction seems to be some sort of low level pollution the less the player has to correct for the more clarity and ease of sound.Tom
