| Best building material for vibration free shelving Yes Steve, keep me posted. What kind of steel ball bearing feet did you use? You’ve got me worried since I ordered some footers today on a close-out...https://edensoundaudio.com/shop/terrastone-roller-bearing/Maybe I should have stayed with cones. | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving @williewonka , I don't believe Sorbethane or rubber should ever touch the component or footer. It may be used as a layer between a platform or plinth and the shelf.I'm familiar with that link and I'm a believer. Geoffkait has also provided many co... | |

| Audioghone form text entering I lost my text twice today. PITA.I started doing a "Copy All" before posting like @noromance . This reminds me of the early days of PC's. You could never trust that your document would be saved. | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving @williewonka, thanks for the info. I've been reading that the density of the wood is the main criteria for isolation and preventing transfer of vibration. As you stated, porous wood will result in resonances and less isolation.I built a shelf for ... | |

| News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below Qobuz has traditionally focused more on classical and jazz genres, and French artists – and even today the experience is still not quite the pop-heavy one you get from Spotify, Tidal or Apple Music.There’s a more agreeable balance now, though, ... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving @gawdbless , I'm using that exact bamboo board turned upside down. It was recommended on a thread a while back.I have seen better quality bamboo cutting boards, but this one is strong. It's under my 60 lb. tube amp. I'm in search of the right kind... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving @williewonka, thanks, the cones are a similar style. I guess there's no way to predict the audible difference between beech and oak as footers. With regard to a wood platform or plinth, is it possible to make an educated guess as to the sonic effe... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES Thanks so much, Elizabeth, terrific explanation. Now it makes sense why you have the quartz crystals in different areas, and why so many tweaks are for sale to treat these same areas. I was aware of possible RFI being found in the obvious areas s... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES I get that the Blu Tack is only on the backside, that's where I want to use damping material. So, I intend to stop vibration at the receptacles, but do you believe that this area also needs treatment for RFI? I'm not going buy carbon fiber treated... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES Hi @elizabeth. I saw your earlier post about Blu-Tack, I didn't realise that you spread the product over the entire duplex cover. What's your take on RFI leakage thru the AC receptacle; does this need to be treated? Or is vibration control the on... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES Since the subject of vibration through receptacle covers was mentioned, I'd like some advice. The covers on my duplexes are not perfectly flush to the drywall so I'd like to secure them. I have two 20A dedicated lines coming from a subpanel, then... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving @n80, I’ll address one point, your component placement should be fine. It’s furniture or audio racks between speakers that affect mostly imaging and other sonic attributes. Open racks are preferred. Speakers need space or air around them for best ... | |
| Chord Qutest I'm sure you are experiencing break-in. I owned a Chord Qute EX and it was one of the smoothest and organic sounding DACs I've heard for under $2000. Keep music or a break-in disk running thru it for about a week. |
