Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?


Hi, I have read that putting some sort of woood blocks underneath components helps in the sound. In particular, I believe Ayre actually suggests doing this. Can anyone explain to me how this helps?

Hmmmmm, wood resonates but everything resonates at some frequency.

Do a little searching and you will see that this topic (drain it? damp it?) has been debated endlessly.
Please don't mislead people by telling them you hear audible differences, it's just snake oil. I'm not even going to entertain an arguement here, there is no way any of you could pass a blind listening test. If it makes you feel better go ahead and do it, you might convince yourself something changed through the power of suggestion, but saying otherwise is just wrong.
Well there you are. The matter is finally settled.

I guess all of you who thought you heard a difference are feeling pretty silly right about now.

To paraphrase a famous line from Gone With the Wind, frankly my dear, I don't give a damm, what you entertain, or not!
