Re: Newton

Hi canuck,

"...you said something like Newtonian physics don't apply in your system"

I think you misunderstood my intention. I didn't say Newtons laws don't apply, I said "What the experience taught me was the expected Newtonian action-re-action does not occur here". Emphasis on "expected" and "here". Perhaps there is some degree of action-re-action but if there is, it is not only nothing like what this former subscriber to the conventional wisdom would have expected, it is insignificant relative to the consistent, across the board improvements in the system's ability to retrieve information from the recordings.

Doppler distortion? That should result in a loss of focus shouldn't it? We're hearing a distinct increase in focus.

And yes, I believe the addition of an air bearing for vertical isolation would only improve the results. This is a lot tougher to implement, especially with a tall speaker, than the simple addition of roller bearings. (I'm working on it.)

The purpose of my initial post was to share my findings with others who are interested, particularly those who know and enjoy the benefits of seismic isolation in the form of mechanical low-pass filters. Addtionally, I'd like to find a better understanding of the "Why" here. You'll notice I said "I believe" in my statement about the "why". I don't really know that a truck changing gears 1/2 mile away or the ocean tide or tectonic activity are messing up our systems' performance. I just know that providing isolation from the types of frequencies these things generate has allowed my system to perform well beyond what I thought it could, consistently and repeatably and not at all subtly.

I am very interested in the "why" but will admit this interest pales in relation to the wonder and joy we've been experiencing in the Music room.

Happy Listening!
Barry
