Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?

Rotarius,

Fair warning! Nasty wars have already been fought in this forum about the efficacy of the devises which are purported to drain vibrations from audio equipment. Been there, done that. When it was all over there was no agreement about anything, just a lot of PO'd folks. :-)

Oh crap! We don't need more PO'd folks. Our hobby is all about perception anyway. Just thought some of you might be interested in how it's done in the *real* world :)

Hi Tom, I agree with your thought. As the world turns so to speak, so do we. And we go 'round in circles, a wheel within a wheel. Perhaps if we could design a platform supported by magnetic forces in opposition might might we then have the perfect isolation devise. Oh well we can dream on and fiddle around. Its fun if we keep it that.

There are so called "magnetic isolation" tables but that is also bunk. Think of two boards, one above the other with opposing magnets on the corners. Without some type of mechanical connection to contain the sides of the top board, it will shoot off to the side. Also, it's not floating on air like a magic carpet, the magnet below is pushing up just like if the board on top was sitting on some type of foot holding it up. If the magnet below is vibrating that will be passed to the one above.
