MB: Now I understand why you said you would be placing the DIY "magic brick" directly on top of the transformer.
TG1954: I thought a photo of what the amp looked like would clear that up.
========================================================================
MB: Aside from your desire to make a DIY "magic brick", how many feet does your amplifier sit on ? Four ? I also notice from your photograph that there is a (TV?) stand behind the amplifier - with four feet !!
TG1954: My amp sits on 3 cones. 2 in the back 1 in the front. These days it sits in a dedicated audio room on a stand between and behind 2 speakers.
========================================================================
MB: Now, experiment with the (peculiar) odd and even rule. If your amplifier has four feet, place a plain piece of paper under ONE (only ONE)of the four feet. Listen for a short period of time, then remove the piece of paper. I think when you remove the paper, you will find that you can no longer listen with the same pleasure !! Carrying on with the experiments place a plain piece of paper under ONE of the four feet of the TV stand, also under ONE of any other four feet of equipment !! Listen for a short time, then remove any one of the pieces of paper ! You will be surprised at the deterioration in the sound !
TG1954: My CD player (BlueNote Stibbert) picture above has four feet. I'll check out this experiment you mentioned above with this component.
========================================================================
MB: Nothing to do with vibrations, nothing to do with magnetism, nothing to do with 'something affecting the audio signal', but something to do with how the human being is reacting to their environment !!!!!!!
TG1954: Well May as I've always advocated that one of the reasons why audio equipment measurements and the specs they provide don't correlate with what we hear is due to the human ear/brain and our perceptions being involved, I can believe that some things will affect and influence those perceptions. So I will be starting with the "odd and even rule" you spoke of above.
