DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor


A definite sonic improvement in tightening up the bass. 
1. Start with 4 aluminum cones. I used some old Mod Squad Tip Toes.
2. 16x16 slab of granite.
3. 1/8 cork.
4. 1/2 inch neoprene rubber.
5. 1/8 cork.
6. Top with another 16x16 slab of granite.
7. Enclosed with a wood cradle to hide the mechanism.
  The granite is from scraps from a shop and was cheap. The added 1/4 inch of neoprene to 1/2 inch thickness did help. Let me hear your thoughts.

Springs are a great tool when voicing your system. Once you start using them you might find other materials that you like the sound of better than aluminum, rubber and granite.

>>>>>Agree. Springs are a great tool. That’s because they’re great isolators. Use them under amps, use them under power supplies, use them under speakers, use em under subwoofers, use em under CD players. The more springs you use the lower the system mass. The more springs you use the more you can hear!

Hey, how ‘bout little mag lev isolators for cables and power cords?! 🤗

No he doesn’t. Not on Earth anyway.

Not on Earth anyway.

exactly, thank you

"everything affects everything else"

you and Geoff head to another planet with different results let us know

you two think you can play something in a room decoupled from that room let us know

you two think you can isolate audio in an active room let us know

oh and good luck, you will have accomplished something no one else in audio ever has
