Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?

Dan_ed, I never said you would end up liking an isolated component sound. Having balls made of exotic material under your tube amp may amplify certain frequencies which could provide addtional mid-bass warmth for example. My point is people who want to reduce the effects of vibration should know that stuff like cones and ball bearings are not isolation devices or "drains" even though they are marketed as such.

Rotarius,

Fair warning! Nasty wars have already been fought in this forum about the efficacy of the devises which are purported to drain vibrations from audio equipment. Been there, done that. When it was all over there was no agreement about anything, just a lot of PO'd folks. :-)

Fair enough, Rotarius. I understand your point.

Best,

Dan

"enjoy music, tolerate equipment"

Hello Newbee..Nice to see you here all these years..The following statement is intended to mean no harm only to invoke thought not verbal pain..There is no such thing as isolation because everything is always in movement. Tom

Oh crap! We don't need more PO'd folks. Our hobby is all about perception anyway. Just thought some of you might be interested in how it's done in the *real* world :)
