Snear, better work on your material. It's not that funny. I'm here to be entertained. So entertain me. You got zinged Geoff. Its okay. You yourself lack originality (and self-insight) as you have used that same tired line on other threads: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/machina-dynamica-mini-isolators |
Hello nkonor,
It is often believed that equipment positioned outside the loudspeaker environment is not subject to vibration. You will improve the sound of the system by using two rooms as the electronics package is ‘not’ subjected to the majority of airborne resonance generated from the speakers, walls, floor and ceiling however all electronic equipment generates vibrations that forms detrimental resonance.
As you may know, vibrating parts such as transformers, power supplies, and voltage rectifiers along with the use of alternating current vibrates and generates electric and electromechanical resonance that builds and clogs all signal pathways. Even cables including the ones connecting the speaker system are also a conduit where resonance forms propagates and travels to and through all parts of the system.
It is impossible to eliminate vibration in a musical environment. Resonance will form regardless of any anti-vibration or pro-vibration products available in industry today. All one can do is manage it and this is where the confusion, differences in opinions, real world “audio” arguments and products become relevant to the listening experience.
The two room system is a very solid approach if you have the space. Keep working towards managing your electronics package as it will always pay dividends.
On a more positive note – “Without vibration there is no music”.

There are a LOT of racks, cones , spikes, pods etc. value oriented to ultra expensive. My Avalon speakers now rest on Stillpoint ultras instead of original spikes ; ( Yes, Improved the sound) my amps rest on Black Diamond Racing "The Shelf" using the Avalon spikes (Yes, Improved the sound) The rest of my system is not in my sound room ( around the corner ) Preamp to Amps 25' pr. of ICs. ( Yes, Improved the sound ) The only changes that I intend to make are ; Stillpoint ultras to replace Avalon spikes under amps and change 25'pr of single ended ICs to Balanced. I continue to look at all the Virtual Systems with gear stacked Between the Speakers and I just Think to myself; Stop the madness ! I only play Vinyl now ; but if you want to stop vibration to your components ; Get them OUT of the room!!!!I have used Stillpoints (gen I), Equarack footers, Herbie's, Sound Anchor, Adona, etc, etc. I do agree with you about getting equipment out of the equation in some capacity (or at least limiting the amount of crap between the speakers....avoid building a tower...keep it low, etc, etc). However, for me personally, the room and speakers are #1 and 2 in terms of energy management. The is the holy grail. A 25 ft run of Oracle MA-Xs will cost you dearly! |
