Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking...

@sgordon1 says he puts them on top of components. Why?

I dont know  except if he use some springs only for tuned mass damping...

UPDATE : "Singing resonators" improvement...

I improved my "singing resonators" not only by adding micro herkimer diamonds and tourmaline beads around them, i also add a big chunk of shungite (elite variety) +a big herkimer diamond in the middle of the 7 glued together buckets...

I keep 2 sets of seven buckets, one set in a corner of my room, at right of my listening position; another set under the ceiling in the middle of the room; all 2 sets oriented toward the speakers....

The change in the sound is very audible and can be adjust or modified by the different stones, in number or by their qualitative difference....The sound can be made more toward higher frequencies or bass one, the criterium is always a better timbre....

At cost of peanuts, anyone can transform the acoustic of a room....It is not perfect, but at this cost the change/ money ratio is spectacular....The change is there in near listening and in regular position, nullifying the belief that music in near listening position is a good solution in a non controlled room....


Always listen to timbre, not to the frequencies first.... Choose different timbre to compare....

How in the world a shungite chunk of 100 gram +an herkimer diamond glued on these metal buckets can change completely the sound ?
Good results(my interpretation) or bad for other ears than mine, never mind, the true question is how crystals like H.D. or minerals like shungite can have a strong impact in the room acoustic?


My room has never been better....

Each weeks in the last year i learn something new.... Nobody teach me that, all my results were experiments in listenings.... Not tweaks....Tweak are a product ready made, all the same for all people rooms...

My device  has been created for my room and ears..... But anybody can try  them with varying materials to adjust the idea to his room and system....




My  devices are NOT tweaks.... They are   device adjusted and calibrated for a particular room, mine, they are   born from a method of experiments in listening in the 3 dimensions, mechanical, electrical, and mainly acoustic....


Dont throw your money, Hi-Fi  may cost peanuts, only sellers will contradict that and those brainwashed by their publicity and their own  costly ownership.... Be creative and have fun listening....

My best to all....

Addressing vibration control of a component
can be attacked different ways.
I was happy with the way I was supporting
electronics and speakers.  Now this is enhanced further by
minimizing the vibration of the electronic piece itself.

I have used various foam pieces of different density
and size, shungite, and PPT mats.  The "spring sandwiches"
work as well, or better, than those, for me.
I use them exactly in the configuration in which they were shipped,
with no manipulation of the springs.

They are easy to place and cost "peanuts."

They are easy to place and cost "peanuts."

Thanks sgordon....

I concur with your experience....

My best to you...

Last upgrade: "8 foot aluminum paper"

The room treatment with these paper on my door room is the beginning of the end of my room acoustical final controls and treatment...



Anyway nobody believe what i has discovered for myself...

Electronic pieces are SECONDARY in the search for sound heaven, contrary to ALL opinions on ALL forums....

The Main Audio problem is not upgrading a piece of electronic gear at all for a way better one....
The main audio problem is minimally or in the best way possible the rightfull embeddings of the electronic components....


Of the 3 important embeddings controls, the acoustical one is the more impactful at the end...


Remember that a "tweak" is an OBJECT, an embedding is a CONCEPT...

My embeddings methods is founded on listening experiments, NOT on the purchase of branded "tweaks"....


My system has reach his potential now and NO costly system at any price can no more impress me...
Understand me here: any costly system will be better than mine, but not so far over mine than most owners would think it must be....And for the price paid (peanuts) it is me that will laugh at last....


When you listen to some instruments and they sound like real in all the room space the search is over.....
It is clear to me now that most people perpetually unsatisfied by their audio system are unconcious that any electronic component must be embed... They know only how to replace one piece with another one, without never be satisfied...And most reviewers, pro or users, promote or foster the upgrading path at all cost.....I even discuss with some that deny any possibility to enjoy Hi-FI experience for peanuts... The upgrading myth is the oil of the audio business... But the main audiophile problem is not the next purchase....It is how do i reach the potential  top level of which is capable my already well choosen electronic components, never mind their price....

Thats all....


I will wait for others experiences and experiments if some have any, apart for buying....Hype about electronic piece has no more great sex appeal to me.... I already have music....

:)

I am not in the urgency at all for any future upgrade....And remember that i never pretended that my piece of electronic gear were top Hi FI... Not at all, they are only good, but rigthfully embed they plays out of the average audio system level.. They gives me "Ron Carter in my room" like said someone who cannot fathom how in the world strings of crystals and aluminum paper or metal bucket and other completely insane devices can give any S.Q.

I am proud of myself yes.... :)


I will wait for your own experiences...


My best to all....
