Equipment Rack


Does it make sense to spend several thousands of dollars on a equipment rack, if Stillpoints are used under every component?

I had to go do some listening for a client so the above post is part one, the MG-Bobby story. If your confused, maybe that’s a good thing cause the stories that have been brewed up about that time are pretty stupid. Bottom line is Bobby worked for me then wanted to do his own thing after his time with RoomTune came to an end. Hopefully that clears up the whole Audiopoint thing, as well as why Starsound might seem somewhat like the MGA story.

There are other audio companies that were born from the RoomTune MGA revolution who have their own stories as well, no biggie. It's a fact that most of the companies you see today are usually spin offs in some way or another. No harm in that. I enjoyed being one of the pioneers as well as being a part of other creative ventures.

part 2, another topic really but because my name was mentioned

Part two of my post is about Geoff Kait. Geoff has a Sony Walkman Cassette player with earbuds and spends his time trolling audio forums for the sake of getting nothing more than a rise out of folks. It’s entertaining if you are a little on the warped side, but as is often recommended best to just report geoff and let your mods take care of things.

For the record, I have never had discussions with geoff kait and was only a victim of his trolling on Stereophile. We could have had conversations if he was legitimate but many members pressed him only to come to the same conclusions. This forum will no doubt head down the same path if trolling is allowed. The Stereophile forum which once was alive is a graveyard now sadly do to trolling. nuff said 

Lastly

As I revisited this forum the last two days I see a lot of members asking questions that are not only down my alley, but I specialize in along with as I said earlier what happened to MG. Let me help by saying, if your interested in what I do or why, you should really come to our site and our forum and ask instead of going to other forums and becoming part of high end audio’s National Enquirer. The reason why this industry didn’t see me for a while was because of what I talked about before, the market crash. But the main reason was because I couldn’t stand the audio myth makers standing on every corner telling you your system sucks and why without ever knowing you or your sound. I got tired (bored really) seeing an industry with so much potential choosing to go down paths that had nothing to do with getting good sound. I wasn't alone!

Getting great sound isn’t really that hard and those who can’t get it always seem to get stuck in that revolving door of opinions. It’s a spin and a game that has caused many music lovers to pack their bags and leave. I know because many of them get ahold of us and start from scratch. Those folks your rarely going to see on yours or any other forum. They want nothing to do with the spins and are now happily focused on their music collections, great sound and life.

So why am I here? I’m simply stopping by to let people know MGA/RoomTune is still around and having a blast. I saw some of the stories about me and us on threads here and decided to give a shout out to those folks thinking about tuning and to invite others to come see what tuning is about. I’m not going to hang out but might stop by from time to time if it’s ok.

so that’s it

Have a great weekend and take advantage of this great hobby!

actually, one reason I was interested in a portable battery powered system was Mike Green’s insistence that low mass systems are inherently better than high mass systems. So, in reality my portable walkman with Ultralight headphones subscribes to Mike Green’s concept. Anyone not see the irony that he should attack my low mass system? Oh, maybe he means only HIS low mass systems...

If you like I’ll count the discussions we had together on Stereophile. Three years of them. Hel-loo! The main point of contention is that you eschew damping and vibration isolation, instead preferring to allow the vibrations to be free to move wherever they wish. Did I state your position correctly?

Somehow I’m thinking that people can read for themselves if they wish and come to their own conclusions. I’m not sure their conclusions though will be any different from the one being established here.

It seems to me that Robert’s invite to Geoff to visit with him would be the right way to show the differences or commonalities between Geoff’s thoughts and Robert’s.

also

If Geoff was sincere about tuning concepts he would be coming over to Michael Green’s TuneLand instead of coming to other forums pretending to represent what MG, or anyone else as far as that goes, is actually saying and more importantly doing.

The door is always open for those who wish to explore concepts and designs, but when forums reduce talks to dumbing down talk only, without the actual doing, the whole hobby is reduced to dumbing down.

As Robert invites Geoff to explore for himself so do we at Michael Green Audio. Talk is talk and walk is walk.

Like i said before the proofs in the pudding ... I am a fan of let it vibrate it has made a noticeable difference for the better i run all audiopoints top to bottom 

Yep, the industry sooner or later will turn to tuning vibrations rather than trying to kill them. When we take a look outside of the high end audio mainstream we see that tuning is the norm. For example musical instruments.
