The Big Misconception About Electricity
Cindy, Take note: “I was impressed with him so much that I continued to read up on him over the years.” Engage brain before mouth or in this case keyboard.  Work on your reading comprehension skills.    
The Big Misconception About Electricity
I did a book report on Nikola Tesla in Jr. High some 50 years ago.  I was impressed with him so much that I continued to read up on him over the years.  It gave me great insight into showmen like Edison and the avarice of George Westinghouse. Our ... 
Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components
Back in the day Pontiac had their Sport Tuned Suspension and put a STS badge on the dash.  Now you have a Sound Tuned Suspension.   
The Big Misconception About Electricity
I don’t agree completely with his answer "D". That is true for a small circuit shown in his diagram but for large circuits inductance comes into play and he even alluded to that. In real life his super large circuit is going to take a lot of volta...

Thank you.  I have the matching Ref 2SE Phono pre as well.  I have been an ARC user since the late 80s.  I try not to chase the wind.  I enjoyed my last ARC preamp for 18 years.  I'm very fortunate to have these preamps.   I find the Nobsounds to... 
Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components
My preamps are unbalanced due to the heavy transformers mounted to one side. So I set them on inert boards and then the boards are placed on the isolation feet. You can’t see it from the picture but the rear feet are positioned inboard to even out...

I’d say stay with fewer springs.  That keeps the resonance point as low as possible.    The difference in gaps doesn’t matter.  This is static loading.  The only time the springs move is when you put your hands on the component.  As long as a gap ...

I am able to use a single spring per foot.  Measured resonance is about 4 Hz.

@Ryder Take out as many springs per foot as you can without the two metal ends touching. The fewer the springs the lower the resonance point and better the isolation.

Thank you.  I am enjoying them very much.   
Nobsound springs - load range
I'm trying the Nobsounds under my preamps right now.  First, I got the cheaper plastic ones to try because the aluminum ones were not available. I had to use two springs per corner and wrap the springs with Teflon tape to stop the squeaking.  They... 
Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker?
Room treatments do not add to coherency.  Room treatments subtract.  The speaker must produce a time or phase coherent sound field in order to produce that astonishing three dimensional soundstage.  The reflections- both airborne and the mechanica... 
Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker?
I learned this past year how much diffuser panels helped with imaging.  Diffusers on the back wall brought the imaging into much sharper focus.  The next step was putting my speakers on springs.  That not only improved the bass but also increased ...
