Hey Chashas1,
thanx for the clarification & apologies.
Looks like agree to disagree on TT fundamentals. That's fine with me as we each are entitled to our own opinions.
Sure every tweak has its sonic signature & that applies to the wall-shelf as well! Your words seem to imply that the wall-shelf has no sonic signature but that's not true. I think that all the tweakers are fully aware that when they undertake a tweak it might not work out & that their effort might be wasted. Goes w/ the territory.
Many times having a wall-shelf is simply not possible for a myriad of reasons - looks too ugly, studs too far away, spouse will not allow it, not enough space, etc, etc. So, the wall-shelf cannot be a panacea for many. Certainly you do not think that these people are sunk???
Looks like we need to part ways on this isolation idea as you certainly subscribe to some other idea(s). That's fine with me.

To all you table rappers out there, stop it. It proves nothing.I'd like somebody to explain why this is not a good test. Right now those who oppose it are saying "this is not a good test because we say so". I'd like some explanation better than that. I claim that knocking on the rack/shelf/plinth/sandbox, etc excites resonances & one can hear thru one's speakers how well these resonances have been damped before the cartridge picks them up.
