In Reply to: floating a rack w/ roller devices posted by rhyno on December 16, 2004 at 06:04:46:
never forget that rollers isolate only on the horizontal they are couplers vertically. If the major excitation from the floor is vertical (the norm) they are not ideal there, though vertical isolation of the rack (basically mass/constraint layers/damping or air or magnetic {tough with a heavy object}) coupled with rollers under the components would work well, IMO.Basically, my rack is in a closet in an adjacent room with spikes on nickle footers and the bottom shelf is nothing but sand and lead pellets. Over 150 pounds thereof. It holds a non-suspended turntable on a aluminium heat sink (a la Redpoint and Galibier) on a sand box (ash tray sand . . . excellent for the purpose, BTW). The street I am on is an entrance to the Henry Hudson in NYC and large vehicles pass all the time, shaking the entire building. The table doesn't "burble" at all. I have done tape/CD dubs during which the trucks pass. You would never know.
I have also used various rollers/hip joints, etc. I find this better in this particular situation.
Not want you wanted, perhaps. But I hope it helps or at least provokes thought.
Cheers
