Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Stabilizing the SB3
I got my SB3 pretty stable, but therapists are expensive.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Stabilizing the SB3
Hay Zanash, did you glue the mdf/rubber/grannet together or just rest them on top of each other, and did you help weight down your SB in any way or just clamp the rear, Oh, and have you tried your platform under the psu ? OP ! if you have a linear/separate psu try the sorbothane under there too. I found the sorbothane gave something and took something away under my SB, and its psu, But, under the power amp :D I would not say the differences were huge in my case, but noticable to a fussy ear :0 -- Deaf Cat Deaf Cat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=515 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40025 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Stabilizing the SB3
lets assume you didn't like the direction the thread was going from your replies. I used the simple expedient of clamping the sb3 by its rear foot to a "vibration sink " made from a sheet of 18mm mdf 6mm rubber sheet and a 6mm granite placemat with felt feet. Yes it makes the unit sound better by a small but obvious ammount more a question of resolution than out right more bass or treble. As to why this should work my guess is that its stopping vibration getting in rather than getting rid of vibs produced by the sb3. Oh you don't have to take my word you could always try it ! -- zanash Acoustician and builder of interesting cables zanash's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12157 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40025 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Stabilizing the SB3
I am depressed. I will never know the joys of the "huge" improvements due to sorbothane balls, sticky dots, wood pucks, green pens, CD demagnetizers, $500 power cords, etc., that bring such transcendent bliss to so many serious audiophiles. It's all because I learned the meanings of adjectives from dictionaries rather than audiophile magazines and advertisements. I blame my parents! If only they had steered me toward the right literature when I was a child I might not suffer this loss of sensibility today. I wonder if I can get a handicapped parking permit...
