[quote user="N-set"]Anthony, I'm sure you realize that air springs and bearings can only isolate from the structure born vibrations. Placing the tubes so close to the speakers you give them a great chance to catch strong airborne vibrations. Or will ...

I did notice the platforms, and I figured it was something like this, since we've all heard the feedback loop that can happen, and we learn "what not to do" that way. Regarding your TT loosing LF atop a platform, I wrote here about my CD transport be...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Generally I like it but I have some concerns, whatever rubber
feet and decompiles you will be using you will not defeat the vibration if you
have a few transformers and a few 500A input chose sitting at the bottom. You

[quote user="zztop7"] I do believe that it is best to minimize adverse contributions. [/quote] zztop7, I was very much not my intention to be abrasive with you and I am surprised that you got it in this way, it wasvery much not personal. The angle th...

[quote user="Paul
S"] Am I the only one who wonders about parking the amps on the woofers? [/quote]
From the point of view of a methodological purity indeed the location of a vacuum
tube amplifier atop of midbass section does not make any sense. B...

I ran across this Negative stiffness isolation platform (the anti Viagra??) independently but I should have known the Cat had pounced years earlier. It is hard to tell how much the concept has advanced since 2007 as I only found one firm doing it (Mi...

[quote user="zztop7"]People forget that their floor, subfloor, & other associated structural pieces connected to & part of the listening room will have to EQUAL the standards of the Verdier. Do NOT count on your contractor no matter what he ...

Since I am now in the Super Zarathustra conceptualization mode am paying attention to the hybrids out there.

I still do not see any interesting Class “A” hybrids but it looks like regular AB hy...

So I am currently working towards this concept for my Macondo (see below) and I have just the Upperbass horns left to turn and prep. I am thinking about how to best integrate the DSET with Macondo and have come up with something like this… Perha...

[quote user="Paul S"]Here is the expensive unit I saw first: http://www.lampizator.eu/Fikus/GOLDEN_GATE_DSD_DAC.htmlSolid construction and fancy parts, for sure, but my uber question - of course - included the question, what - exactly - are people li...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Very slick and very inelegant. [/quote]Hahaha, thank you Romy :)[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Juts to ice the cake I would provision 4 hooks atop of the insert that would allow you to hang the insert to the air-suspended pla...

Romy, thanks for the explanation.
I was not sure if you still kept an eye on that thread Romy. As far as I know you need to be logged in to view the images in the diy threads so I will post a couple here to show where...

Audio people frequently go astray in their thinking and actions and this creates a good breeding ground for all possible audio sale opportunists. I would like to explore one moment that has not a lot of public attention and to look at the moment slig...

[quote user="Stitch"] When you look at the data sheets, you see, that they have different Hz range with different weight. A reason why I added some more mass to my Micro which is sitting on a VP. [/quote]
Actually it is not my observation. In ...

Agree, it is very good. For the vibration isolation, I would
worry only about the driver tubes. If you have some money to waste then you might
look for ALNIC made tube sockets vibration dumpers. They are VERY effective and
if you buy them in bulk ...

Wavac Audio Lab announced a new amplifier: MD-805MK-II.
http://www.wavac-audio.jp/md805mk2_e.shtml
The amp uses the same idea that I pitched with my “Stands for Super Melquiades” idea – 2 floors with small footprint. The way how ...

Spend a good few hour moving the boxes, connecting the cables
and do other sort of things. Was looking for elegance and more symmetry. The
objective was to put midbass channel between the main horn islands and set the
horns, the midbass and LF in ...
