Tom, I read your post as one long Strawman argument and I’ll tell you why: You mischaracterized what I said or put words in my mouth. I said I use very rapid techniques for evacuating vibration from the top plate, the vibration produced by airborne, residual seismic vibration that gets up through the iso system or vibration of motor, transformer, etc. Furthermore, extremely rapid evacuation of vibration from the iso system is assured by employing extremely hard materials, as I stated, materials as hard as diamond on the Moh scale, both under the component and under the iso device. Mpingo discs - another extremely fast energy dissipator. They have many uses around the system and around the room. In fact, my techniques are much faster than yours. See the irony? That’s why the sound using my techniques will be more open, more dynamic, more detailed, and have more bass slam than competing methods.
I do not use constrained layer damping as a means of isolation. Rather, I use constrained layer damping as a means of reducing vibration in applications such as transformer and capacitors. Direct coupling will NOT accomplish this! One assumes you do nothing to restrain these known producers of vibration. It sounds like you’re perhaps from the Michael Green school of letting the vibrations RUN FREE, not attempting to attenuate them, isolate them, damp them or otherwise interfere with the natural flow of vibration in the room and in the audio system. I also use the fast energy dissipators like the Tekna Sonics, remember?
I am quite confident your statement implying that you have tried all vibration isolation devices is most likely just puffery. All that talk is fine but it strikes me that you actually don’t address very low frequency structureborne vibration or seismic vibration. Which is really the whole point of isolation, no? Certainly direct coupling isn’t the answer. One assumes you’re simply ignoring it and hoping it just goes away.
The only good vibration is a dead vibration.
