Springs under turntable

Mahgister, I have decided that there is absolutely no way to explain anything with you.

The explaining in audio made sense AFTER an experiment....Audio is NOT electronic design only but encompass many fields of science in one game...

Explaining BEFORE an experiment is only most of the times pontificating...

I only want to reach High-End with basic average good elements in a controlled environment.... Is it possible? Yes.....Why ? Audio is more akin to acoustic than to electronics....

My simple concept of the 3 embeddings is my way to describe the conditions we must put in place to reach S.Q.

No sellers will sell you Audiophile experience, you must work, but it is easy when you know the direction to go.....

I am not knowledgeable and hand crafty at all....I was only good in my work to explain books to people....But if i can, anybody can.... But we must be a little creative for sure....

My deepest regards to you....

Good noromance. Just don't sneeze:) Lewm is absolutely correct. For a driver to do its job correctly it has to be held rigidly in space. Any spurious vibration of the driver is distortion. The problem really does not become critical until you get down in the bass frequencies. There are several ways of dealing with this. First would be making the cabinet very heavy and stiff. Second would be spiking the cabinet to a very solid floor and third would be using counterforce design with the woofers. Best would be all three together. Putting springs or foam under loudspeakers is 180 degrees the wrong way to go. There is a huge difference in requirement for a device that is designed to pick up vibrations and a device designed to produce them.

Yes!  Increasingly, manufacturers are making enclosures out of aluminum billet.  And then there's granite, Acora reviewed this month in Absolute Sound.  They're designed to stay put.  This is also why front baffles are often heroically over-engineered. And what if the springs themselves start resonating?

@mijostyn - oh yes, you're absolutely correct. And you should totally ignore anything I say unless I can produce a peer reviewed paper on the subject.

You should also ignore isolation devices and stick to your guns.
Cheerio old chap.

@mijostyn, is there any particular thing that I wrote that you question,
or the entirety of my post? I mean if it's only a couple of statements, I might take the time to find evidences, however, you're welcome to dispel and write it off with no further regard.

"When correct implementation of zero stiffness on loudspeakers is administered, there is no question of the superiority of this engineering practice on the voicing of the loudspeaker." (rixthetrick)

rixthetrick, What is zero stiffness? That is a term I have never heard before. How is superior when it comes to "voicing" a loudspeaker.
