In Reply to: RE: If you had $80,000 amps posted by rick_m on May 2, 2012 at 13:33:37:
But an isolation device, as a separate component-like device designed to reduce noise, and vibration bleed.....
You probably use one already under your CD player. If you do not, - then you might find one helpful.
As Joe probably designed his: he came up with a methodology to reduce vibration and control resonant frequency. He probably found that if he took some further steps, vibration was reduced further.
There is nothing broken to fix, there is no Kludge, - they are legitimate devices designed for a specific purpose.
They either reduce noise or they do not. Just because you have an $80,000 pair of amps that sound better than $3000 amps, it doesn't mean that either one is broken. It probably DOES mean that right out of the box the $80,000 amps make a lot less noise/distortion, but that doesn't mean that isolation devices, and/or room treatments won't help those amps sound even better.
In this case, - you could use $7 isolation devices, $700 isolation devices, or $7500 ones, stands. A customer will more than likely go for the most effective treatment. Perhaps you would find the $7 treatment more effective? Who knows, until you try.
I know Joe, and it is highly likely that any of his stands cost him considerably less than half his retail prices to make. And, in that sense, he is on the plus of most audio manufacturers. And in general, most high end audio manufacturers are 1/3 material cost to retail price, are worlds better than other industries...
I can say that it would be highly unlikely that anyone would use nothing, - if for nothing else, - to get their amp up off the floor a bit, and make sure that it wasn't affected by someone walking by......
I am sorry that you are so angry....
