Sorry but the video wouldn't embed. Here's the review link from 6moons.
It's a suspended base that the speaker rests on.

Vibration isolation or absorption?
You see those pointy things at the bottom of a speaker that are very very sharp. Arguably a weapon in the wrong hands. And then you see those same pointy things inserted into a disk.
So the pointy things, aka ‘spikes’ , can Channel vibration elsewhere and away from the components and speakers, or they can isolate it.
Seems channeling vibration away from a component/ speaker, which I guess is absorption, is preferable.
Is this true? And why do they keep saying isolation.

Try this little experiment. Play music at your required volume and place your ear against various walls in the room. If you can hear the walls 'singing’ thats not good.for all the obvous reasons. The vibrations from the walls, floor, ceiling,floor or solid furniture will make their way to your ears and to your hi fi gear. So isolation is my prefered choice.

I bought my speakers and set them up. The basement floor was not flat so the speaker could actually rock. They only came with furniture tips that are just driven into the wood. I didn’t know much. The isolation topic was very common here and usually contentious. I went the cheap route. I bought 16 of the Audiokrast springs. Wallah! They are self leveling. The improvements from the isolation springs was very positive. Cost $120 for all. All other components are sitting on Herbie’s products. My audio stand is on spikes sitting in disc’s. I have not looked into anything else. I don’t like swapping parts or components all the time and the sound is nice. |
