Does anyone use wood for vibration control?

geoffkait,

I suggest you read a bit about Tesla's work, too. If for nothing else, but because Marconi was using a number of his patents for his work. Seventeen, if I remember correctly but I may be way off (many years have passed since I was in early grades of elementary school where I learned it).

I am not trying to argue about it in any way, but the story, with all of its twists and turns, is not as simple as it seems and, check it for yourself, Tesla actually did get awarded patent for radio.

There is a number of, often romanticized, stories about those events on the Internet so "cum grano salis" applies.

MG.

Amp is Ayre EX8
Cdp is C.E.C 3100

Rack is homemade.
Consists of 4 x 24×18x2 maple shelves basically with all thread at all 4 corners so infinitely adjustable for height and level.
But this means all shelves are not individual isolated.
Which is why I wanted to try different footers etc under the main components.

One day I will get round to building a better mousetrap! Really the legs I would like to come up with something better.

>>>>I’ll go with your notion that you may be way off and leave it at that. 

geoffkait,

Go with whatever you feel appropriate.

In fact, I think that was Tesla himself who said to his nephew something to the effect of "Marconi is a good guy, he is using seventeen of my patents." Of course, those were tales told to children so they may not be true.
