Does anyone use wood for vibration control?

I see what you are saying about the LPs and CDs and immediately made my own listening judgement call as soon as Michael walked into his listening area. On a professional level it would be a disqualifier for me to take his critiquing of components and music seriously. I would classify Michael’s room more of a music collectors room than a listeners room. That’s not a slam on Michael, just a different part of the hobby than I am a part of. I will make this comment though, If I sat down and listened to both his system and your system (with exception of the body effect) I would bet that I would choose your system over Michael’s.

>>>>Unlike Michael Green I have no such inhibitions about critiquing anyone’s system or ideas, etc., even someone in the industry. It’s nothing personal, though. But on the dodgy subject of having a lot of LPs or CDs in the room I’d like to stress that this issue is much deeper than it might appear. It’s really not really any kind of resonance issue, although there might be sine of that going on, too, what with the CD jewel boxes acting as resonant cavities, but the real reason why I suggest removing all LPs, all CDs, all books, all magazines, and all personal electronic devices from the room has to do with the general problem that all media and connections to global media creates for the listener. It’s a Peter Belt thing. Along the lines of Mind-Matter Interaction, for lack of a better term. It’s the subconscious mind interacting with the local environment. Thus, even if CDs were placed in paper sleeves instead of plastic jewel boxes the problem would remain. This is why I’m positive Michael Fremer does not and can not enjoy the glorious sound he should be enjoying with the $30,000 tonearm and the rest of his system. The superb, exquisitely detailed and dynamic sound is in his room, though. He just can’t hear it properly or completely because if all the interference. His brain 🧠 is like a receiver picking up interference. Can I even say this? Will I be banned? And I apologize if I’m scaring any newbies.

Hi Glupson & Perkri

You weren’t overlooked, I just wanted to see how far off track and topic things would get here before doing much more posting.

You are both on target here "unwanted" vibrations. As Glupson said "audio is vibration" and according to the Fundamental Interactions he is correct, there is no such thing as non-motion here on Earth. You can’t logically say "kill all vibrations" on a moving planet and it make sense. The Earth doesn’t stop spinning just because someone on an audio forum says so. That’s a little on the crazy side of things.

So here you have the audio signal, which is part language and part energy in motion. You have a legitimate change called volume. Volume is when you add energy to the signal. The energy itself is Vibratory. You can call it "put into motion" or "force" or several other names but Vibration covers the audio realm pretty well. Volume is an amplification of the vibration (audio signal) and when used all the Fundamental Interactions of physics also amplify and or interact. This is where the balancing act between interactions starts to play out in audio. When you increase Electrical, Mechanical and Acoustic energy the values of the new setting have to balance themselves out again. This is where you get either "true gain" or "distortion". True gain is an increase in the function of fundamental frequency and harmonics in balance (harmonic structure) that make up notes or band of notes. Distortion is when the fundamental frequency and support harmonics are out of balance. It can be too little vibratory structure or too much, either one is distortion. The fundamental interactions are what I call a "fair exchange" of energy.

Whenever something in Earth’s energy realm goes out of balance the 4 Fundamental Interactions (forces) go into action to put the fundamentals and supportive harmonics back into tune. The shape of being in-tune is a sphere. Reason being is a sphere can give off and take on energy exchanges with a natural vibratory interaction. It’s like a 3d oscillation or pulse. Without interacting force the Earth along with every planet or star would crack apart and loose it’s pattern. Just like when something is out-of-tune it means the supportive energy is out of balance with the fundamental cycle. The cycle out of balance is then called "distorted" or incomplete in motion.
