Vibration control question....


If I have access to a 18"x12"x3" block of granite for my CD player, would it be best to use spikes or can I keep using the vibrapods that I am using now ? Thanks in advance for any input.

I take my cat box fill it, with what else.. cat litter, mix in some sand and stir in some lead shot and some brazen ball bearings. I then place this upon a lead sheet under which are 3 gigantic coil springs one tuned to 3hz the next to 6hz and the final one tuned at 12 hz.As punishment for breaking her curfew when my daughter comes home late from a date, I make her place her practice cello {I wouldn't want her to damage the integrity of her concert instrument} within this cat box contraption and tell her to play the night away..Of course she hates the sound because I killed it with all this crap.Well not crap the real thing, just all the crap that takes the life out of the music. Oh when I really want to punish her I add some sorbethane to the mix.Where goes the vibration there goes the music. She has as a retort.. said she would place similar non musical materials under my hi-fi. How dare her try to undermine my music. Tom
Millenium,will do, and thanks for the tips as I am always searching for the best sound I can get from this ever-evolving system,Bob
Wow funny stuff. Cracks me up. Haven't laughed this hard since Waco. Don't quit the day job.
Multiple examples of multiple dissimilar materials used in Waco ways not dissimilar to multiple home grown methods of Granny Clampetts conjured up backyard brews. All of which decouple the listener from the reality of the music. Direct coupling happens at the event so bring it home.Leave the sand bags at the levee and hope they work there.Tom
If what I understand is correct, vibrapods (or vibra killers) will isolate the CD player from the granite (and whatever else the granite is placed on) while spikes will drain vibration from the player to the granite. If this is correct, will using spikes make the player more susceptible to footfalls ?
