The response is coming soon and what you have exercised for 20 years or more has nothing to do with how LIGO operates as it does not relate to your audio products.. In your instance, it is not a single case of suspended animation..Tom

That’s a pretty bold statement, Tom. I have not idea what you’ve got up your sleeve but you better believe I’m on pins and needles. Heck, I don’t even know what you’re saying so color me embarrassed. I even tried using my decoder ring. It sounds really intriguing though and I can't wait to see what you little monkeys will say next.

folkfreak,

I'm with you 100%.  There is always room for improvement.   But I like others to solve as much of these things for me as possible so I can cut right to just enjoying the music faster.

The problem is that even when gear is set on a solid foundation as you put it, the gear is still vibrating. That’s because the entire house is shaking due to the microseismic activity, traffic, etc. This is precisely why audiophiles found out a long time ago that all efforts to build a rigid, solid foundation for their gear are for naught compared to isolating the gear. The building, house, whatever is not only moving up and down but side to side and in all rotational directions. Cool, huh? Like a boat out in the ocean when a wave passes under it, the boat moves up and down, forward and back and rolls back and forth. Capish?

GK so how do you address that with your system? And do you hear a difference before and after?

My stuff sounds great, better than ever as a result of the things I have done to isolate my gear from various vibrations at hand.   Detail, soundstage, imaging, articulate bass, you name it.  All better than ever for me.

But one can always do better I am sure.
