Dave,Glad to see your back home.And you brought your madness home again to Texas.What a wonderful madness to have. Dangerous to no one other than one's wallet.Tom

With the Case closed as you indicated the vibration is trapped. Coming in from all directions. And the beat goes on in a fashion. Damping slows the release and decay of energy, there is no fast pass thru only more buildup of noise and friction. An...

Geoff,In what way does your proposal for a sharp pogo stick provide a path for resonant friction to leave the audio component? Tom

Spike your chair and shake your booty and your toes tap along.Live music sounds better when you wear leather sole shoes.

Back in the day the chemistry of choice made the vibrations more active and apparent. Active Engagement was the descriptive term. Coupled resulted in a better body rush than isolation. Same is true in this day and age all in the context of audio r...

correction I had the same battery on carpet then on points then on a platform. Better each and every time.

and with that thought..Pot this, a palm tree in a brass container mechanically grounded to the floor with Audio Points or a small Sistrum Platform. Why not make your organic acoustic comb filter more reactive and beneficial especially if grounded ...

The source of all vibration started with the Big Bang and are still in motion. Lets hope they don't stop moving for awhile.Tom

ToptenMaybe you were referring to these 99 balloons.Nena - 99 Luftballons - YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CnDvtwYn6IBut you still have the issue of self generated noise that would need to be directed to ground and then there is always the fear ...

You can make an active stand out of passive materials. Tom 
High Fidelity Cables -- A revelatory experience
The magnets used hold a permanent charge unless you heat them up past 170F so I have read in other published sources.. I once tried to demagnetize some neo magnets for a special purpose and cooked at 500F for 30 minutes and they still seemed to ho...

Bdp24The concepts you mentioned are easy if there is an understanding that isolation is not achievable unto itself. If it were, then electron motion would cease and that means there would be no physical matter present.Even in a stasis mode there i...

Geoff, Your ideas and insightful experiences always make me stop and think not just about the content of your post but the how and why.Trying to figure out some of that leads me to some other interesting things. Thanks for doing that.Tom

Geoff,I see your concept as reasonable except upon landing at which time it will yaw and recoil,and have different settling times. Of course you could damp the one material that is faster then again that makes for additional timing errors. The ide...

Bdp24,I agree 100% that the Sorbothane is non linear. Wouldn't it be great if you could dial in the Q of all these materials and shapes. Bearings have good vertical coupling when loaded but have less lateral rigidity than a threaded secured cone a...
