In this case, 30mm W x 10mm H carbon fiber composite discs with Thin grungebuster Dots are directly adhered to the bottom of the PSU enclosure, which is then placed on a laminated bamboo board supported by a set of four Herbie's Audio Lab Iso-Cup footers. The effectively pointed hardball does well to couple resonance from the board onto/into the compliant Iso-Cup decoupling base placed between the laminated bamboo vibration control platform and the rack shelf surface. However, the carbon fiber discs placed on the vibration control platform without a thin decoupling layer creates a poorly coupled interface, which is prone to mechanical ringing (microphonics) due to the hard flat surface of the carbon fiber discs resonating against the hard flat surface of the laminated bamboo board. The very firm, minimally compliant Thin grungebuster Dots placed between the bottom of the carbon fiber discs and the vibration control platform surface avoids this resonance issue without adding the detrimental effect of an additional highly compliant layer within the particular multi-layer vibration control platform configuration.
