what makes you think brass is better than anything else?
Brass saxes are the metal of music BTW.

Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Mechanical grounding or isolation from vibration has been a hot topic as of late. Many know from experience that footers, stands and other vibration technologies impact things that vibrate a lot like speakers, subs or even listening rooms (my recent experience with an "Energy room"). The question is does it have merit when it comes to electronics and if so why? Are there plausible explanations for their effect on electronics or suggested measurement paradigms to document such an effect?

Signal proceeding through a wire induces an electromagnetic field around it, and if that wire vibrates it affects the electromagnetic field. In turn an electromagnetic field induces a signal within it. In audio reproduction this induced signal is reproduced by the speakers. It is ridiculous to think that only speakers are affected by isolation. I have tried countless isolation devices. The Stillpoints solution uses changing vertical vibration into horizontal vibrations which in tern are restricted and turned into heat. Star Sound Tech seeks to get vibrations within components to earth quickly thus undoing the effects of the vibrations. Both work well with different effects. I have made my choice but you may differ. I hate the effects of rubber, wood, with the possible exception of iron wood. I also dislike springs, whether actual springs, inner-tubes, like pole magnets, etc. All have a resonant frequency. There is still the fact that vibrations in the air affect signal cable and speaker cables. Here I suspect my using all High Fidelity Cables with magnets. When an electromagnetic field hits a magnet, it goes off at right angles and thus induces no signal within the cables. Finemet and ferrous beads resist electromagnetic fields but, for me, also have adverse implications. I have been in audio since 1961 and once thought I was close to realism. In the last five years, I realize that I was no where close. But my sound even a year ago thanks to a handful of brilliant guys has further improved. My quest to be able to think that a reproduced piano in another room is real, still is a quest. |
agear OP 1,171 posts 10-20-2016 10:08pm And you keep dodging without adding any novel data to the conversation. I suggest you encourage end users of your products to chime in. I like hearing from end users who have fiddled in this domain. So, back to the regularly scheduled programming..... Dodging? I’ve done no such thing. Without adding novel data? Are you drunk? Stop trying to make a Federal case out of this. I don’t answer questions having to do with sources, how I develop things, how I test things, how I get my ideas, or in some cases the operational mechanisms of how certain things work. That would be stupid. That’s because they’re, you know, proprietary. Loose ships sink ships. I will, if I can, general technical questions or questions specific to my products. For those interested I have quite a few technical papers on my web site. See this page for the links to technical papers, including vibration isolation, the Clever Little Clock and even the Teleportation Tweak, http://www.machinadynamica.com/machina6.htm cheers geoff kait machina dynamica we do artificial atoms right |

That’s the reason brass is used in many musical instruments. Silver saxophones sound better, however. And CRYO'D brass or silver saxophones sound even better. So brass is the metal of inexpensive musical instruments. Hey, just like audiophile cones! Listen some time to Galway’s GOLD flute. Which may or may not be cryo’d. Have a nice day |
