Ain't no one-way doors

Hi David,

Whether one understands or has no idea, the phenomena remain unchanged.

So I ask again. What's to stop floor borne vibrations from traveling up this design, all the way to the components being supported?

My belief: nothing at all.

I've heard the "mechanical diode" argument many times but have never seen it substantiated. My own experience has shown me that if I can rap a knuckle on the support platform and feel the rap in the component, as indeed is the case, the argument becomes a product of marketing and not one of science.

Note that I'm not saying such a device won't change the sound; I'm sure it will. But *change* and *improvement* are two different things.

Happy Listening!

Barry
