Isolation vs. Absorbtion

RedKiwi: Thanks for the info and the site. I am very enthused about the relocation as I will finally be able to experiment with speaker cable due to the shorter runs, plus I won't have to worry about the pets mixing it up with the gear anymore.

Transfer is key. Sceince dictates that all resonations or vibrations have a frequency. So all things must change the sound. Try throwing you cat under a component, the sound will change. Bad idea but a cup of water will work for this demo, fill it to the top using a tall glass then listen. Now empty the glass and replace it and listen again neat huh!
Yes the sound changes but what scenerio is more accurate they are both wrong because in both scenarios with the exception of my friend using the brass acorn nuts what most products do is resonate or change resonations altering sound like the water did and like the glasses.After trying audiopoints and noticing that they reduced distoration dramatically, I studied the physics and found they work every time you use them and unlike other stuff they do not add flavor (there own resonante frequency)becuase they are designed to drain or transfer vibration leaving you only with the music and are built upon proven laws of science and physics. There is no guessing involved someone has already figured it out. Try it!

Rick: Is "audiopoints" a specific product? If so where may I find info on them? David.

Nice post Rick, thank-you for the very informitive note. J.D.

Dekay, you can find out about them at www.audiopoints.com. They are a very well designed hard cone. I have tried them and they are pretty good as far as cones go. They work particularly well onto MDF shelves and in a clamp rack system - that is, to couple the component top and bottom to the shelves. This is a very different approach to the light/rigid one that I have been pursuing. I personally believe that use of a very hard or very soft footer only sounds better when applying them as a band-aid to fix a bad support structure.
