What is a fundamental to what is desirable as an inherent property for a Plinth or Isolation Platform - Sub Plinth for materials selected is the following:
Damping Factor ( The materials ability to harness received energy or at the other end of the scale bounce it back to the source. Preferably a High Damping Coefficient for an Audio Support ancillary used within a System).
Dissipation Factor (Speed at which energy within the material is lost or no longer significant as a reading)
Most who have a HiFi System and have the opportunity to make change, seemingly reject the materials available today that are much more fit for purpose to perform a particular role and maintain materials that are very poor and wanting for the role selected.
