Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?

The_kid: do the Monument Ref just sit underneath the component? Are they physically attached in any way? Also, I noticed that only 3 posts are given in a set. I assume 1 is positioned at the front center position and the other 2 in the rear side position making a triangle?

Tboooe,

Yes, they sit under the component and not attached in anyway. You are correct on the positioning of the three SoundPosts as well. They actually come with a tool and a thread which assist you in mapping out the actual center/circumference of each component. It is really quite intelligent as the initial setup is very detailed.

There are several different sizes and choices of wood too for different applications. As, I mentioned I was quite skeptical in the beginning but now use them under every one of my components in my two channel set up. I have tried several vibration tweeks (Sorbothane, Vibrapods, Ceramic Cones, Black Diamond Racing, Myrtle blocks, etc) and the Monument Reference stuff is in a league of its own.

My system is in the virtual systems if you want to check it out..

Cheers,

Chris

Newbee, the reason I thought of frequency response accross the audible spectrum is that I am not sure how else to quanitfy an audible change at the listening position. I suspect it is this difficulty to quantify that brings everyone back around to DBTs, which I suspect would be hard to set up for resonance control products. Nonetheless I DO use resonance control devices in my own system with my turntable. I think the Walker Resonance Control Discs improve the sound, but I suspect I might go mad trying to find the exact difference with and without.

The Kid (Chris): you said you were blown away by what it did to your system. What exactly did it do? what sonic impact does it have on your components? I assume you found some real audible changes. What were they?

You guys are putting me on, right?
