Isolation Devices: Any Good Ones?
For cheapskate DIYers there's really no substitute for bungee cords. Mass on spring isolation. Real isolation.  
Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs
Ya gotta love love it when one person without moral scruples pats another one on the back. Like peas and carrots.

Sabai, when’s the last time you had a date? I'm guessing 2007.

Sabai, you mean the laws of physics changed since 2007 and nobody told me? If you're trying to convince me that you're a little slow on the uptake you're doing an excellent job. 
Whats playing on your system today?
The Clash, Combat Rock, cassette. Whoa! Now this is what dynamic range is all about!

This just in! From 6 Moons’ Return Visit to Franck Tchang. Looks like we know the secret of tiny little bowls in the courtyard of Franck Tchang’s abode. And why distance is irrelevant, and why the tiny little bowls should be placed in every room. ... 
Is remastered mainly just less jitter?
Whoa! What? Look who's talking.

You're quite the wit, Wolfie. Well, half of one anyway.

Thanks for posting the link to the large resonator. Of course it should be mentioned that’s pretty close to the size of a relatively large medium Tibetan Temple bowl. Oooooo!

toddverroneI’m interested to hear how your experiments turn out. As soon as a saw what these things are, my first thought was that there should be different sizes for different frequencies and their harmonics.A very perceptive question, why should...

You sure fooled me, Wolfman. I just built some knock off transducer thingies. See if you can guess what fits into the opening of the tiny bowl? Three guesses, first two don't count.

Young folks boogie on headphones and iPods. Old dudes listen to classical on their big home systems. The market is young people. Which is why rock and pop are compressed and classical isn't.

Sabai, sorry but you’re wrong. See below for examples from Franck Tchang’s website diagram and instructions for using HIS acoustic resonators. The steps of the diagram are specific to his gold, silver, platinum and basic models. Even if resonators...

Whoa! What? Hey, Wolfman, you shouldn’t disparage that which you know nothing about. I hate to judge too harshly but I suspect you might benefit from enlarging your circle of friends.  😄  What did you do with the humorous Wolfman? This one is just... 
Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?
Isolation generally refers to mass-on-spring techniques but can also be magnetic levitation, filament suspensions, roller bearing assemblies, negative stiffness, I.e., any technique that attempts to decouple the component from the room structure a...
