Does anyone use wood for vibration control?

>>>>Next step: get to the place in your hobby that you start to realize the audio signal’s interacting with the vibration that’s all around it. Then an even newer hobby begins from that point. There’s always another hill to climb. 🤗

Quick question: Did you ever consider why the sound improves when you take the big ol transformer out of the chassis and put it elsewhere in the room? You don’t think it’s just a question of lower mass, do you? 😳

First passenger, slightly inebriated, looking out the aircraft window: Hey, look, those people down there look like ants.

Second passenger: Those are ants, pal. We haven’t left the ground yet.

Hi Jburidan, well said!

Almost have my chores done for the day so I want to get started on the referencing.

My reference is not the system but the recording itself. First rough listen to "toys" I knew a couple of moves I would make right away. Took me all of 60 seconds to move my chair out a little from the SAM wall behind me and move the speakers forward about 3". Soon as I did this the "digital" sound was gone. I say digital sound because that's what many call the brittle sound when they play CDs. Fact is CDs don't sound brittle at all, it's the system playing the CD that creates this sound. CDs are an extremely accurate source and can require slightly different chair and speaker placement that can be needed as much as per recording. Most of the time not but when that certain cluster on the top end is heard it usually means the relationship between the speaker and back wall placement are off some. This is a cue for folks wanting to see how their setup is doing. As soon as the highs are tamed you will notice that your stage grew. Mid to higher sounds that were playing in the speakers now miss the physical speaker placement. The disappearing act may not be completely over but we are on our way.
