Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil

And yet active isolation devices are more than an order of magnitude more effective than passive devices. Imagine that. Gosh, maybe they can see the future. That's why big boys like LIGO use active isolation. Not to mention passive devices are considerably better than nothing at all.

Don’t follow the wrong sheep. If you don’t want to step in sheep do do.

Butt Geoff in your state of the art 900 sq ft.condo in the heart of suburbia how could you implement stage 4 LIGO into the regular audio crib with real speakers or in your case headphones? Build us a bridge over your own  sheep do do.

Oh Randy-11? Before my coming rebuke, I would like you to expound on your reasoning as to why this theory of isolation for sound improvement cannot work. Feel free to use words or formulae. Just please try to keep it above the 9th grade level if you can.....

Hello Folkfreak,

If you examine the entirety of my statement I never state seismic interference does not exist. I am referring to the effects generated from seismic activities within a mechanically grounded sound room with the equipment mechanically grounded as well. The effects from seismic interference are minimalist and do not change a thing or at the very least ours and others who have trained ears in music could not hear or detect any traffic, trains or planes or any seismic related interference within this engineered environment.

We are in the completion stage of another sound room where the structure, all electrical feeds from the main panel including the AC panel along with all the equipment is mechanically grounded. Our previous design stunned everyone from highly experienced audiophiles, studio sound engineers and musicians alike. I would like to invite you in for a listen upon completion.  

Please do not take this as anything but positive. You have a very good system and obviously labored and spent a great deal of time listening and working through the sonic of each product you own in order to gain success in your listening enjoyment and I am sure we can learn from each other’s experience and our people would like to learn more ‘hands on’ about active isolation.

Questions on the Herzan:

Are you sure the noise showing on the Herzan meter with TT in the off position was traffic, construction or a form of seismic interference?

The Herzan relies on AC power for operation therefore it has a power supply (remote as an option however the main body still reacts to friction formed from vibration), AC noise and of course additional resonance formed from vibration on all surfaces and electronic parts including the chassis, the spring system, the electronic parts and circuits, etc., per Coulomb's Law. Since the Herzan is extremely sensitive, could some of the interference being displayed on the meter possibly come from those parts reacting to AC flows?

I am not aware of what this device brings to the table in sonic as we have no experience owning one. Most of our practical knowledge comes to us from Norm (tbg on Audiogon) who reviewed and is very familiar with our products and has also owned multiple Herzan units.

The Herzan appears to be designed for science applications other than audio reproduction.

According to manufacturer’s spec, this isolation system takes approximately 5 to 20ms to receive and process vibrations whereas the human ear responds to auditory stimulus on an average of 0.17ms. The sonic characteristics involving attack, sustain and decay of instruments along with response to listening reaction times are extremely fast. Music is fast hence we rely heavily on the need for speed.

Our engineering is extremely confident that our technology will improve the function and performance of the Herzan. If you are open for an experiment, please contact me. We are always looking for new ways to expand our technology.

We positioned and built it inside of speakers and electronic components, equipment racking, adapted it to musical instruments, placed it inside structural surroundings and it will also improve the function and effectiveness of all those acoustic panels currently mounted to your walls as well.

If you really enjoy the results from the Herzan, then let’s see if we can speed things up a bit and get more out of active isolation.

I am looking forward to some day meeting you.
