Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
All the giggling schoolboys apparently like each other's puerile and remarkably unfunny jokes. What we have here is not exactly the faculty of Harvard. Did someone forget to put out the Roach Motels again? You missed my innuendo which is not surprising since you attended my alma mater prior to the admission of women and/or people of color. The primary selection criteria was a whiteboy with a pulse and not academic aptitude. |

I looked at this article: http://www.industrial-electronics.com/DAQ/optical_discs_digital_data_and_vibrational_jitter_effects.... It absolutely does not show that isolation doohickeys under CD players have even the smallest value. Yes, blasting 105 dB from a loudspeaker directly at a CD player might create a measurable disturbance, but not audible given the jitter artifacts are at -130 dB. That's more than 30 dB below the "hiss" noise floor of a CD, which is itself inaudible. Moreover, putting your player on a platform won't stop the acoustic vibration from the sound in the air reaching the player! I made that point clearly in my Loudspeaker Isolation article which none of you apparently bothered to read. So here it is again: http://ethanwiner.com/speaker_isolation.htm |
Ralph, I absolutely do not think I know everything. I do think that everything that affects audio fidelity is known, and so there’s no mystery, but I know very well that I don’t know everything. A list of just what I know that I don’t know would be pretty long. Then there's the stuff I don't even know that I don't know. That said, if you think people like cockrum and kait have anything to offer that will increase my knowledge of audio, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. |

What’s the difference, Mr. Smarty Pants? Answer at 11. I told you this would be fun. I just didn’t say for who. 😀 |
