| TT on Symposium Super Segue - slate or maple underneath? @bdp24 Thanks for sharing info on AVC. Looking at their webpage and the Isolation Blocks could be helpful under my rack feet. Pricing is reasonable. Have you used their products before? | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! @slaw It's been helpful for me and yes, it has devolved. I'm still interested in hearing GK's thoughts on rack isolation. I know he thought I was being sarcastic or something but I wasn't. | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! I'm waiting eagerly for your answer GK. I have no ideas beyond extra rigid marshmallows or something involving anti-matter. | |
| What I call minimalist I always felt that George Harrison never played a superfluous note! But yes, I do get the sense of what the OP is trying to capture, particularly as I'm drawn to a lot of 50s/60s jazz trios. How brilliant was Sonny Rollins on "Way Out West" accom... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! @slaw I wouldn't use the DH Cones under the rack, I'd only try them under individual components if I were to give them a try. I agree on going with a better decoupling/isolation solution under the rack feet - like the Townshend products for examp... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! Perhaps I will give the Super DH cones a try too. I hear there's nothing quite like ballistic audio. | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! @geoffkait Yes, that makes sense. In terms of cone tip direction it seems it's really the relative resonant difference between two shelves or a component and a shelf. In my case the BDR "The Source" shelf is the most resonant so the cone tips po... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! Although BDR goes on to say: The proper placement will significantly affect the performance of the cones so the rule of thumb is the tip of the cone towards the resonant surface. For example, under a CD transport sitting on an MDF shelf, the tip... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! Looking around on the BDR webpage (bdrsound.com) I saw their following recommendation when using cones - which I found interesting:*If you are using BDR Pyramid Cones with a BDR Shelf, invert the cones, so that the flat face is on the Shelf and th... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! @bdp24 Those Townshend Seismic Corners look great but wow they are expensive! | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! @slaw Thanks...I'm checking out your set up and consider the options. I see you're fan of Symposium and BDR as well. Appreciate your time weighing in. | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! @slaw I fear I've hijacked this thread so hopefully no one is offended! The rack is 4 shelves, 36 inches tall. I'm using a Kuzma Stabi S table. The floor where the rack is located is not on a slab but is situated on a block connected to footer t... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! @slaw Agreed. I’m going to look into something that acts as a decoupler that the rack feet can sit on. I'm open to any suggestions from folks. I'm using the foot configuration at the bottom of this link page.http://symposiumusa.com/pcouplers.html | |
| Fyne Speakers now in the USA I heard the Fyne speakers at AXPONA this year in the Cary Audio room. They had a little Cary SLI-80 using 40 watts in triode through Fyne's top-of-the-line (I believe) speakers and the sound was very good. I don't know what their lower end produ... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! @slaw I’ve actually considered the exact same thing and I suspect you’re right. My rack sits quite close to one of the speakers and the cones are probably dissipating some energy transferred from the floor or even sound reflections from a nearby c... |
