RE: Awesome, Thanks! Order Placed :) [nt]




Hi Jim,

One vital thing about these rather high-mass Carbon Fiber Discs is how dense and hard they are without being a metal, and how they seem to act as an audible resonator if the interface with another hard surface such as the bottom of a loudspeaker enclosure, audio component, or vibration control platform is not decoupled and dampened by a compliant pad or footer, and/or a silicone adhesive with is very beneficial due to the notion of how well a thin layer of adhesive couples the interface of the Carbon Fiber Disc to the device with a slight decoupling aspect, which functions as a lateral damping force and stabilizer. Just a little dab will do it, but I'm also exploring much thicker pads and even larger compliant footers, like the Tenderfoot.

As for a Carbon Fiber AC Outlet Wall Plate, it's overdue for me to report findings about the device. I'm currently using the smaller-sized product shown in the link you provided for an Oyaide SWO-XXX installed at the wall for my computer workstation system. As compared to a solid aluminum product with the same dimensions, the Carbon Fiber AC Outlet Wall Plate presents a very substantial level of improved clarity and resolution of both inner detail and micro/macro dynamics. The larger Carbon Fiber AC Outlet Wall Plate is my next step to experiment with, since there are a number of mounting methods that may be of benefit, but there are some issues that would need to be addressed in order to mount it and the AC outlet to the wall in a proper and effective manner.

Cheers, Duster
