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

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...

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...

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 ...

Use a N52 magnet in place of the fuse or the jumper..$ 2.49  American. I use them everywhere..enter at your own risk. Tom 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I have tried both thru out my system..doing one side at a time. The side without the magnets..well I had to move my chair almost in front of that speaker to capture the balance from both speakers. Made more difference on the ac side of things..may...

Easy to reference and mark the polarity.  Its up to the listener to determine the chosen direction for best sonic results. Tom

My turntable has a fuse and I  made a decision to replace it with a N52 magnet..I did so years ago ..2008 on my LP12..all mirrors and no smoke. The magnets cost $2.43 American and direction is obvious by nature. Freedom of your own choice to do so...

"Exactly why I use cryo treated N52 magnets"..Tom 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Shear wave energy was generated from the friction and vibration of the blades as they crossed and made contact. The hand holding the cutters dissapated the shear. Shear energy cannot be transmited thru air. Tom
