As I mentioned earlier LIGO uses springs and they are required to use what's best. Why more audiophiles don't use springs, well, you'll have to ask them. "I looked everywhere but couldn't find them" is a common refrain.

Diversionary answer.  LIGO is irrelevant.  How about a cheap bedspring for a violin endpin?  Now that would make the music come to life.  

Since no one in the Audiogon ecosystem appears to be using your products, how about a pic of your own system unless of course its a lonely walkman as Monsieur Greene insinuated.   

agear - you observe

Fact is Geoff is not the only proponent of spring based isolation from subsonic vibration and I along with many well regarded reviewers and experts are getting great results from the current Townshend kit. Your attempts to dismiss his emphasis on the need to deal with the vibrations impinging on our systems as well as those generated within them are unhelpful. Remember this entire debate was triggered by a manufacturers assertion that his carefully shaped spike would reject seismic interference, an assertion he has been unable to provide any evidence for

ps for those with good memories Machina Dynamica spring based platforms were highly desirable and much sought after back in the day on Vinyl Asylum, I'm sorry I did not get the chance to acquire one when they were available

There are waveforms and portions of waveforms that your methods do not account for but they do alter. Your methods directly eliminate portions of these waveforms that are crucial to how a speaker diaphragm works, operates and makes sound. It is all text book, you just haven't compiled the data. I thought you were much faster. Tom

LIGO this the most sensitive physics experiment in history! the gravity waves which it detected finally last year had amplitude the diameter of a neutron. If LIGO uses springs as opposed to some cones or spikes or other coupling devices then springs are require to achieve the experiment objectives.

I have already stated many times I’m using a portable Sony Walkman CD player and Sony Walkman cassette player for my sources. Are you dense or just pretending to be dense? Hel-loo! I'm certainly not trying to hide it, on the contrary. Duh! Besides, Michael Green is a big proponent of low mass audio systems. He’s just jealous that mine is the lowest mass system around at only 10 ounces and much lower mass than anything he has been able to come up with.

Let's see, what was that Jethro Tull album? Oh, yeah, Thick as a Brick.
