I didnīt mean to offend you, I totally accept your experience. I should have quoted my statements as experience too. So Iīm happy to learn new stuff, based on good facts.
Most expensive is not necessary correlated with physically correct
Thatīs not a convincing argument, especially not in the hifi vodoo world...
Thanks for the video, I have just watched it.
I actually canīt comprehend the sense of this demonstration. I think it is no surprise at all, that a decoupled object will pick up much less vibration than a coupled object.
Yes, the speaker will pick up more vibrations of the floor without decoupling and in theory this isnīt good.
But the opposite will happen, when you actually play music with the speaker
It produces vibrations which will remain in the enclosure because it is isolated. Have you thought about this stored energy? Is that less harmful?
The ideo of spikes is to couple the speaker to the floor to discharge this energy to the floor and get rid of it...
Why havnīt they actually done a real test by simply playing music
Many hifi vodoo products are illustrated by using unrealistic tests or irrelevant scales...
So this video makes me rather doubtful, sorry.
At the end of the video he even claims: "your neighbours canīt hear your hifi".
Do you really believe this? I mean it will reduce maybe 10-20% of the unwanted vibrations of the floor and walls, but most of these vibrations are induced by the air sound pressure anyway. I have tried this myself several times as I live in an appartment building... Again, decoupling works for a washer, but not really for a speaker... A washer produces mainly impact noise, which can be dealt with by decoupling. A speaker produces impact noise as well, but mainly produces air sound pressure which transfers the vibrations. How should a decoupling-advice affect this transfer?
Again, I really like to hear your thoughts.
Iīm just describing my experience and understanding and if Iīm wrong, Iīm happy to learn.
