| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wolf I don't use bags of pebbles nor do I use fuses but I do use reactive brass coupling discs to change the speed and the direction of mechanical wave types that are a large part of what we don't like and do like about the sound of our cables and... | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs Geoff,Do you have a measured and quoted shear velocity for any and all your Pebbles.? That is after all the basis of their relationship and conversion from compressive waves and also their response to other boundary layers they contact. Tom | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs On the devices I make that I designed to enhance mechanical grounding of a cello I have measured over a db in gain. In my audio room I place one of the same discs on top of each sound panel with the major feature facing up at the ceiling..I now u... | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs I have found over the past 15 years or so that the geometry the material and its placement on surface boundaries are the 3 greatest influences of surface control. If you have placed devices on flat surfaces or walls and you are pleased with the ou... | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs Todd,If you filed down the tubular diameter so it was flush with the interior taper as seen in your photos that is a very good thing. From my experience the shape you have selected either by intuition or much listening has little to do with compre... | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs Do any or all of your devices touch the wall surface? Tom | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs Your speakers compression waves are the activators. Any thing in your room act the same way..its all in the touch. Tom | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs I had tried damping previous the result was much the same except for the reduction in amplitude at all frequencies. A minor change in geometric shape was the fix. A change of the reflective angle between the two surfaces. Tom | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs So Geoff I will have to say the homeowners association for your condo probably won't permit you to build a LIGO in your play room right.? Even if you could build such a home brew device..When you turn your hi fi on and play music you generate c... | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs So this is all about the transmission of polarities of shear from one solid material to another..something that isolation fails to address.Geometric shapes primarily are the most important aspect of this transfer system and then the actual shear v... | |
| Vibration control inside a cabinet Where there is motion there can be no isolation. Ah, the art of isolation.. choose your paint color made from all the various materials and their geometric shapes all interacting with their various shear speeds and reflected angles most back into ... | |
| Top resistors Jack,I did the same 2 years ago with a complete rebuild out of my mono bloc pair. The Vishays have tolerances that are much tighter than 1%.. Try building resistor bridges with the nude Vishays and install in your speakers..The result will be much... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Bill,I have built power resistors using Mills 12 watts as the element. Drilled thru the center of a .875 brass rod coated and set the resistor with Cascade Audio V-Bloc and placed the Mills inside, had these cryo'd. The Vishay's sound better..of c... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Years ago I rebuilt my set of Dunlavy speakers with Vishay metal film resistors. Their top of the line in the mid 90's. These made more difference than any single part swap I ever made..tears of joy came into my eyes the difference was so huge. Ca... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I read a year or so that lithium ion batteries charging time could be reduced by at least 25% with the addition of graphene to their charging posts. Another benefit was that this added material allowed for the battery to approach a near 100% full ... |
