Kait - Actually, to be fair, I was not picking on your products. I was picking on your science. See the difference?

Mr. Kait,

You absolutely lost me with your last comment referencing picking on Star Sound’s technology. Why would anyone lacking a formal background in music or sound reproduction pick on anything proven to be musically successful,  widely accepted by highly educated electrical and mechanical engineers and add to that possesses the graciousness of public support?

Is your presence in audio just to aggravate people or are you out to prove you are "the best of the best of the best” relying on your aerospace background?

I have read about people, who get kicks from argumentative lifestyles and have to ask, are you one of those personalities?

Unfortunately my vacation is over and I must get back to more important company matters. We are still awaiting your answers to our previous technical questions with regards to vibration and science (your specialty) so please let us know if you intend to answer them so I may set time aside for review and if not…

Good luck with your business and career.

If suspended plywood floors isolating speakers is the first step then see what you have. Something inexpensive like Auralex subdude platforms under speakers can work wonders (does for me).

I never said your product was not musically successful. I only pointed out your product does not address seismic vibration apparently because you it to be inconsequential and or that mechanical diodes account for seismic vibration. Strawman arguments.

I like to challenge people on any number of audio and technical issues. I actually never claimed to be the best of the best. I actually don’t rely on my aerospace background. I didn’t even mention it. You did. Your statements are Strawman arguments.

I enjoy joy a good debate, that’s true. I like to keep personalities out of this and stick to the science.

i think the answers to your questions you either answered yourself or have been answered by yours truly already in this thread.

Mr. Kait,

We appreciate your latest defense - the good guy bad guy thing, really?

Humorous…but we were hoping for much better.

You stated that you appreciate a good debate. Debates require two or more people so why is it when we direct questions regarding and/or challenging your understanding and approach to audible and inaudible interfering energy, all we ever get in return are idiotic replies such as “straw man arguments” yet no answers of any substance.

My personal opinion is you enjoy debates as long as all questions are fired from your shores hence the carney term “a winner every time”!

Not to be redundant and if anyone is still following this thread, our three questions directed to Mr. Kait are listed on this thread by audiopoint on 07-30-2016 8:53pm:

In closing, we are here to learn. You shoved earthquakes and inaudible frequencies up our rods and we agreed to review, measure your advice and sought out a highly educated seismologist to evaluate both sides of the coin. In turn we directed questions regarding your approach and how you deal with what we have determined to be of higher importance relative to managing resonance formed from vibration i/e Coulomb friction.

We take no pride in winning a debate when there is silence from the opposing side.

Robert -- Geoff and I both asked for a link to an independent third party data source on how your spikes, or any other similar device could act as a mechanical diode able to isolate against seismological effects, You have yet to provide this. As far as I can tell you have brought no facts to this "debate"
