In Reply to: I'm convinced. I'm throwing away my degree. The right wood knobs will solve everythiing. posted by Soundmind on June 21, 2006 at 05:25:16:
Hey, these ARE special (somehow?), an music expert wouldn’t lie just to make a buck.Special wood, only 1 sprout in 1000 is acceptable, grown in greenhouses, watered daily by a blinded (a small sacrifice to make for sound) monk chanting sacred texts and sprinkling sacred Bat guano from the caves of Hindamar..
The Wood is harvested buy the Monks after fasting for a week, every 22 1/2 years, at secret time.
The wood is seasoned and dried slowly and perfectly in a hand made bamboo hut and smoked for 71 days, in a fire that has never gone out, made only of the leaves and twigs mixed with ash from previous batches and former monks , that way the continuity is assured.
Excuse me, I seem to have barfed a little bit.Gosh, rather than spend $500.00 a pop to “find outâ€, why not put the amp / preamp what ever in another room with the speakers connected in place. While you listen, have a friend go in the other room and tap on the amp with a pencil.
That vibration would be vastly larger than vibration induced by airborne sound.
If tapping made an audible sound in the speakers then perhaps mechanical damping / isolation is in order.
Most equipment makes no noise in this test, some high gain tubes are microphonic, but that is a grid motion issue (float the tube).
I suppose the same realty test could be used on “fancy feetâ€, and those neato CD fixer uppers things you set on top.Seriously, some of these things (the folks behind them) really are an embarrassment to the serious audio business.
One can only hope that a millennia from now, an energy starved society will be able to drill down deep into the earth and pump out there oily remains, to be used to power some future hifi, finally serving a positive function in audio.Tom Danley
