Components on the floor on separate stands?
Paul,In another thread you started http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1370624240&openflup&25&4#25. a few of the questions and answers were stated.Because isolation only exists in the absence of matter a sand box only ser... 
Have you heard or own the Shakti Hallograph
I have had Argent Room Lenses for years. Used 3 for sometime and then put one in hiding. I put it behind my chair this weekend to adjust the horizontal offset of the soundstage which had slightly more weight on the left side. If move the lens ever...

The pillows you tried early on can you put those on the floor underneath the cd storage area? And if you have more, open the doors of that same cabinet and put something soft in there as well. And then leave the doors open for energy to pass thru ... 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Volleyguy1Mechanical coupling is just that and generally has no design bearing on capacitors other than maybe how they are wound and most importantly under the context of resonance control..how they are mounted. Direct mechanical coupling is a met...

Same is true for direct mechanical coupling. You will have much greater dynamic contrast as well as a measurable increase in spl. Tom

Chinkwan are ya just visiting for the day? is that why your in such a hurry. Tom

LallThe single plug has less mass suspended upon the same amount of brass so the plug will transfer resonance faster. There are many more things that can be done to complete this whole transfer process. The empty plug test could provide insight if...

You have built a storage capacitor for the vibration to reside longer than is natural. The vibration will regenerate faster than you can impede, muddy and store. There are more effective means. Good luck. Tom

Single outlets are the best sounding because they have less resonance..see the Hubbell HBL5361. Mounting screws are ferrous but those can easily be changed. Stainless steel is very slightly magnetic , go with brass. Tom

AmusebThe cabinet under your cd's has vents which from this side of the ocean makes me think the doors are metal and something mechanical is behind them. If you could open the doors or remove them that may help. If the cabinet needed to stay the w...

Stock answer Geoff.

Huh is also my response to isolation claims. If you have a band pass of 3hz to 6hz provided by a spring system how do you deal with the other 94% or more of frequency's that are self generated by the electronics and left to remain. How do they get...

So you isolated the amp from itself? How'd you do that? I know how I do that but it ain't isolation because that ain't possible.How's the lateral stability of that spring? Tom
