Vibration control question....

I have five big pieces of 3" granite in my storage room. It just has too high a resonance frequency. I found the best way to use it was with sand under it in a wood surround. Soft isolators just steal the dynamics of music. I have found that a base with multiple resonances is best. Or one with none such as the Halcyonic electronic base.

If I'm not mistaken, Corian and similar products are styrene-based so any resonance they might have would be of a considerably different character than igneous rock. Whether Corian in combination with layers of wood would provide the same kind of benefits inherent to products developed by the better-known manufacturers is debatable. But, what the hell, that's why God provided us with workshops and Sears' cards. Just be careful with that axe, Eugene.

Thank you TBG and Islandier, you seem to be pointing to the fact that it may be worth exploring the application of heterogeneous sandwiches. . . would love to get a Halcyonics norm. . . but it would then cost me three times as much in divorce proceedings!

Guidocorona, were the Halcyonic to cost $2000 or less, I do not think anyone would sell anything else. Hopefully a less expensive unit will soon be available.

The best sandwich of materials isolation base I know of is the Acapella, which I use everywhere other than under the turntable and cd player.

TBG, tell us more aboute the construction of the ACapella isolation base.
