@camb - interesting that he isolated the speakers first. I have also put all of my system items on springs, even power supply you can see in my system page. Funny as he said to use the same method throughout, which I also have done. However the stand mount speakers are on wave springs, which are not optimal, and yet it still makes a considerable difference regardless. I will be using a damped mass device on top of electronics like the ETI AMG topper, as well as on my speakers including subs as I add more of them. I am currently building an isolation rack to work in unison with the AMG toppers on electronics. Same idea, to absorb vibration from the components, just implemented differently. camb - thanks, informative. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8721 |
@jhills +1 for the spikes into maple platform. Between the maple and shelf I use a gel type material which gives me a floating platform. Re: wood blocks. I used a ayer of cork under the Myrtle blocks. I still had the tight bass and open soundstage, but highs remained harsh. I think the vibration of the component passes to the wood, then back to the component chassis. |
@rixthetrick Since you use springs extensively, would you provide a recommendation for sizing the capacity of the springs compared to the weight they will each support? I have some springs arriving today to try under my 70-pound amplifiers. The maximum capacity of the springs I ordered is slightly less than one-half of the weight they will each support. Are there pros and cons related to sizing them, i.e., stiffer or softer? |
@mitch2 I am going to make a generalization that may help.
