and i assume a couple of hundred pounds weight would not be as dead as could be.All that weight won't isolate one end from the other? I'd have expected it would reject or absorb a lot, especially at my normal moderate listening volumes, In reading the Archives on Concrete as Isolation it appeared more felt it was not as i assume but i never found anyone who actually measured such a block of concrete to see what it actually does. AS for the Graphite it was reading the Boston Audio information about their Tuning Blocks that prompted me to look into larger pieces for the top slab From their Website; "Tune-Blocks utilize the uniquely low acoustic impedance of carbon graphite to efficiently drain mechanical energy from audio components, while simultaneously isolating the component from the shelf or table supporting it. You'll notice reduced transient smearing and increased resolution through the reduction of the components' noise floor. Tune-Blocks also improve localization of instruments and create a wider and deeper sound stage. Use Tune-Blocks with CD/DVD/SACD players, DACs, preamps, amps, turntables and even speakers ("S" model) to reveal detail and clarity you haven’t heard before. Unlike some other footer products, Tune-Blocks offer gains anyone can hear without leaving a sonic signature of its own."
So i wondered if it wouldn't be that any vibration not defeated by the massive Concrete post or the inner tube wouldn't then lose its steam in this high density low impedance Graphite weather i used their Tuning Blocks or another like Sorbothane Black Holes. If i'm wrong in thinking Concrete of the size i consider would deal with vibration created by the functioning of the speakers to a large degree I'll just have to keep looking . In the Sandwich idea you mention are you suggesting flat slabs of differing materials glued together or a series of slabs each using something like cone feet and stacking them a few feet high?
