Vibration - What are the Main Sources?

Go look at all the removed posts.

Like the ones that I wrote in response to your defamation, that you conveniently had removed? Do you think that puts you in a better light?
You do realize that it's been read by many before you had it deleted.

Timely subject!

Getting close to final set up of my TT.

Just made a base - 3/4" mdf "box" filled with sand.

The TT weighs just shy of 60lbs, the base is approx 25lbs

My thinking is this. The vibrations present in the component needs to go somewhere. The vibrations in the environment need to be prevented from getting to the component.

The component should be coupled to something the vibrations can dissipate to. The whole thing should be decoupled from the "world"

So I’m looking to put roller blocks between the TT and the base. It will both couple the TT as well as allow for horizontal movement.

Then, I’m thinking either ISOAcoustics pads under the whole thing, or, springs. So many sources for springs around that can serve virtually any purpose, and are inexpensive. Just need to find springs that are the right diameter (so they are stable), the right height (again, so they are stable) and the right spring rate so the whole unit floats. Meaning, the same force is required to "lift" it as is required to "push" it a given distance.

Seems pretty straight forward...

If floating in zero gravity, and kicking your feet about (not touching anything) vibrations in your body are going to be minimal, all the forces are contained within you. Now, back on terra firma, and you kick the ground, the forces come back into your body. Very disruptive...

I appreciate the arguments against springs and I don’t really know how they work… but I went from spikes on my floorstanders to pucks, to mid- grade springs to expensive (dampened) springs and the improvement kept getting more noticeable. Springs really work @clearthinker

@mijostyn, as much as I deplore the guy, signing some "letter" is the last thing I’d do. Considering what a narcissist MC is with his flair for theatrics, making stuff up, trying to recruit a fanboy base here, and his penchant for shameless self promotion, I wouldn’t put it past him to have fabricated said letter himself.

It’s an old tactic of the right wing. He’s just following the formula laid out by his heroes and probably pollutes all the sites he’s on with his agenda. To that point, I hope and pray he’s on Parlor: that right wing site that promotes itself as censor free and a place for those of like mind to post.

Turns out, the owner of Parlor notified the feds over 50 times that something bad was brewing before the Jan. 6th insurrection and no one heeded their warnings. After the fact, Parlor turned over all user information to the feds so they could do a deep dive into them. If MC really got any letter, he could very well have been the idiot behind his own undoing.

And as for Tekton, don’t forget that Glenn Beck was one of the first who posted positive reviews of Tekton and with MC being of like mind (and probably a rabid follower) just ate it up and ran with it.

All the best,
