Does anyone use wood for vibration control?


What kind of wood have you found to be best?

The LTR Tuning Blocks just went in the system. I'll report on the sound more soon but the first listen is more even throughout the frequency range bottom to top. Bigger soundstage and more music wrapping around to the back of my listening position.

fun stuff

"Like Robert at Star Sound Michael Green believes that there is no such thing as isolation. I.e., you cannot prevent vibrations from coming up from the floor..."

"I believe Robert at Star Sound used to say...….“There’s no such thing as absolute isolation.”...….I suppose he was trying to say since it can’t be absolute why even try. Or some such nonsense."
...and then in the next line...

"While it’s actually is true that even the very best isolation techniques do not block 100% of ALL vibrations..."
What we have here is universal agreement between both relevant, and one unsuspecting, parties.


Most anything that isolates, connects at the same time. Springs included.

Which of these properties will practically prevail may depend on execution (materials, shape, construction, something else) and it may not be generalized. There may be certain spring that isolates better than certain wood, but it may not be every spring and every wood combination.

This is not even physics, it is slightly more than a tunnel vision approach. Kind of a view that many parents try to teach their preschoolers.

All about the variables! And once you have the tools and know how to use them, it's all about where you wish to go.

I've got the LTR Tuning Blocks doing their thing so I'm a happy camper. Might do some top tuning tomorrow but for now time to get in some more jams.
