Good People:

I came across a fine piece of scholarly work from  an old Stereophile Magazine regarding the numbers of techniques for vibration control. Check this out. It is scholarly yet written for the layman to understand. I think it may give understanding and change the tenor of this discussion.

Thanks for posting the link to Bad Vibes that was published in Stereophile more than 20 years ago. Actually, rather than address a "number of techniques for vibration control," the article focuses almost exclusively on vibration isolation, which at that time was relatively new to audiophiles. As Shannon Dickson points out the article the inspiration for his article on Vibration Isolation was the Townshend Seismic Sink and the Vibraplane, both of which operate according to the mass-on-spring concept.

What made the article so scholarly, as you characterized it, was actually that it was the first article in an audiophile magazine to address vibration isolation in such depth.

Hello Everyone,

Hope I am not veering too far off topic....

Experimenting with wooden cutting boards as platforms for speakers, cdps and amps. Would be most grateful if I could get some questions I have answered...

1) Ikea Aptitlig ...are they carbonized bamboo...or?

2) Has anyone compared the Ikea bamboo vs maple or walnut as platforms for cpd and/or speakers? Sonic differences?

Thanks.

No, but I went to Ikea to look at them (as well as bookcases for LP storage). For $15, worth a try! Keep the receipt---if you don't like them, return for a refund.
