Mr. Kait, as you wrote:
Furthermore the energy involved with the seismic vibration is much much greater than the energy coming down towards the floor since seismic energy can move the entire building, and does move it, the everyday microseismic activity moves the building up and down, to and for, and in 3 rotational directions.
So what does that have to do with musical reproduction and how does three rotational directions affect musical quality?
Without decoupling techniques such a mass on spring the whole Coulomb device is moving right along with the motion of the bundling and the spikes are moving up and down right along with the motion of the building.
Absolutely correct, but who ever said the device can not or should not move with the motion of the building and what does the motion of the building have to do with musical reproduction? In a concert or practice hall the instruments and musicians also move right along with the motion of the building too.
There is nothing coming down the pike resembling 0-20 Hz, but there is plenty of seismic vibratin going UP the pike in that region, which includes the resonant frequencies of tonearms, cartridges, turntable platters, CD laser assemblies circa 8-12 Hz.
I’ve always heard what goes up must come down…so do the rising seismic waves come back to earth, do they change into airborne resonance, does any portion of energy return to earth via gravity does any of that leftover energy then affect the component residing on springs? Does this also have an affect on component operational efficiency?
REAL and HEROIC sesmic vibration isolation techniques were required. Gravity waves were not detected overnight. LIGO project was begun 20 years ago and didn’t detect gravity waves until last year, most of the effort was actually applied to the development of the seismic vibration isolation systems.
My uncle flew in project Sageburner managed by Commander Jim Lovell. These guys were very real and heroic but other than experiencing true low end frequency, I am not sure if this project or the LIGO project has anything to do with sound reproduction.
Our model is “not” a seismic vibration isolation system and we do not know if gravity waves affect sound waves or at what frequencies or if these waves are even part of the “Audible Range of Human Hearing.”
We are still learning...

As folk freak rightly says......peddle your snake oil without the pretence of the relevant sciences that apply.
Sciences I might add, that are obviously a mystery to you
All this crap about science and not one word about musical reproduction techniques. Not one word as to why or how avoiding earthquakes is good for sound. Not one word or 'question answered' as to why INAUDIBLE seismic waves prohibit the function of musical systems or musical instruments, not one word about these sub-harmonic waves affecting pitch or harmonics and someone please tell me how the freaking LIGO project relates to music reproduction?
Just slamming down the age old sciences... lacking any vision as to the future of sound or the possibility that a new technology is at hand - nothing but age old arguments and AGAIN, I am not a scientist or physicist nor would I ever want to be.
BUT,Put me behind a concert reinforcement system (FOH or monitor mix) or sit me down in any recording studio and I will show you and teach you what good sound is and what all that mumbo jumbo is all about. Invite me to your house and I will help show you where your system might be lacking and physically demonstrate how to improve upon it. I will also point out your system’s strengths and am also fairly accomplished with the acoustic sciences and applications as well. That is my science - the science of sound.
Our technology is quite functional, proven over time and is “scalable” from the mounting of a resistor to a component or loudspeaker chassis to equipment racking to structural room environments and yes it improves and adapts to musical instruments too. Isolation and spring theory never went in music where Star Sound has already gone (just my opinion of course).
Say what you will, call us names as they did back in 1999, you do not have to believe in anything we do, products that we build, product performance we generate or the discovery of a new technology as we know fully the direction our company is headed. My guess is that all the reviewers who own our products are full of crap too? Funny… grown men arguing, some with textbook experience, some with practical experience and some without any.
I sat behind this Star Sound desk for sixteen years working to improve audio system performance and solving problems with thousands of audiophiles, music lovers, musicians and listeners. You cannot buy an education like this from any science or research college. Sixteen years in the school of hard knocks and my teachers who are my peers are now our customers.
Snake oil peddlers? I take strong offense to… uncalled for and obviously shows that we have never met or conversed before.
So gents, are we up for a personal visit? Are we up for a product comparison or listening test? Are we up for an audition of our technology in the privacy of your home? Are we up to visiting an Energy Room and hear a presentation that will last in your memory for a good long time? Are we up to learning more about sound - I am, and my phone is always open. In addition, I promise to keep my ass out of science and will gladly pay our engineers overtime to participate here.
If provoked, this old snake bites!
