Soft-Hard Audio Rack

Hoi Junkies,

As you know, my electronic knowledge is very small; therefore I chose to purchase my electronics.

However, I am quite handy, so I had decided to improve the other side of my stereo.

  

I had promised myself that after cables purchasing, I would stop!!!!! with investing, unless for a long while. 

Stop, because desired simple set is complete and is became much more, than I had ever dreamt of.

But, improving must not always cost a lot, toch?

The whole story has begun with vibrations, which I heard in my electronics while walking around it. Then came Wybe's article about spikes and Adrian's about quartz. I had understood, that even my set of opposite facing spikes system looks nice, but it does not work!

Meanwhile got familiar with stillpoints theory: Link:

My believing is that spikes, quartz, carpet, bearings  must be combined. 

Thus, let's leave one hard spike connection between 70kg concrete and marble shelf and separate it from the rest of the audio-rack.

In such way I should be able to stop floor vibrations and wave's vibrations getting into my electronics and influence the sound!

 Some sound insulation in the shed?

Yes, I have stolen it from Adrian's home while working there. Any paint, glue? All in...

Let's try it!

Do I do something stupid? The answer is yes, definitely in Sylvia's eyes....

Ah, let's not forget about speaker cables!

The result:

I can walk around my equipment and nothing cracks trills. Yes, yes, yes the sound waves must be kept away, as well.

Half painted separator does not look too good, though they are hardly visible.

Finally I can vacuum and wipe the floor under the speaker cables without pulling them and dirty them.

THE SOUND

Recently, I am so satisfied with the sound that I truly ask myself if it’s worth to go any further. However this is a combination of new CD, cables, and of course my special designed Soft-Hard Audio Rack.

Therefore, I will not sell you any shit. However, I strongly believe that everything matters and even you do not hear it directly, it is there!

Example: Of course I wanted to hear such a huge different in sound by changing net cables in my house, as I heard it at the dealer while listening to his 60k€ equipment. But the fact, that it was so much less, doesn’t mean it was not there.

Or maybe you do not share my point of you?
