a bit "drier" and more analyticalSpot on, thanks very much Larry, great explanation and excellent wording. Just wish experimentation wasn't so expensive.
What the *#$@ happened??
I'll keep this short, just hoping someone can let me know what's going on. I changed out the platform my TT was on to a much denser wood, and I'm not really happy with the results. The good, I can hear more detail in the music, subtle nuances are more prevalent, better instrument separation, especially in complex arrangements. The bad, the whole stage moved back and got flatter, it lost depth. And the 3 dimensional characteristics of the singers voice also lost luster, became flatter as it were. It almost seems like I'm listening to a stereo now instead of a live performance. I thought the heavier wood would improve the sound, not degrade it.
Anyone know why this happened?

Thanks for all the info gentlemen, I appreciate it. And thanks for the detailed explanations redglobe and dougdeacon. I'm going to leave things as they are for now, and spend some more time listening to a variety of recordings that I'm familiar with. I have a feeling that you guys hit the nail on the head. |
All right, finally getting some where. Came across a diy isolation table, and wow, it really really works, and costs pennies. No more mass loading for me, maple and granite be gone. I’ll be using this simple effective device until I can pick up a/some Minus-K BM8....s.
