Gents, I was getting quite excited about attending this little GTG, then it hit me ... it is the afternoon of the Melbourne F1. The race is later this year but we like to make a day of it and watch all the leadup events (V8's, celebrity race etc). It sounds like that day is ok for the others so I'll have to catch up with you all at the next one. However, if the date changes ... count me in !
Hi Andy,Tuesday nights are best for me too. Just pick a night. There always seems to be last minute arrangements made for me to take out the oldies during the weekend, particularly if it is known that I'm doing something else.Cheers,Laurie
Andy, you realize that if I am going to draw any conclusions there will need to be some science involved. Be prepared to an A-B comparison.... several times!
And I've just thought of a possible reason why my now-air-isolated amps really do sound better than before? ...Regards,Andy
HelloMaby the vibrations cause a microphonic effect in some capacitors into the amp or power supply. So if you cut the vibrations you cut the microphonics effect.ByeGaetan
Hi Andy & All,During a clean up I found a strip of packing pillows I tore eight off the strip. They are small plastic pillows pumped with air and are about 160 mm X 100 mm and about 40mm high when loaded with a weight.I placed one under each corner of the Maya amp and one under each corner of the CD player. Mind you the equipment is sitting on a wooden floor less than 1/2 a meter from the speakers. I was surprised in the overall improvement in the overall clarity particularly in definition, imaging all within a deeper sound stage. This is an extremely cheap solution to assist in eliminating unwanted vibes. By the way the turntable responds similarly to the pillows too.Cheers,Laurie.
