I think that Machina Dynamica products by all rights deserve to be there. Problem is, many people don't seem to have the ability to discuss them in a constructive manner.Practically speaking, because undies so easily get bundled I'd like to see a new Asylum created where controversial subjects can be discussed, much like Outside, but with audio related items being its focus. It's too bad that the discussion can't be based solely on the true merit of any given product.

...these topics seem to me more suited to a general board, than to one supposedly devoted to tech topics.As for conversations being devoted to "true merit of a product", rotsa ruck around here!
Merit: a praiseworthy quality. The only product offered by GK that might possess such a quality would be the isolation platforms.

There are vases, pictures (wall as well as frames on shelves), a fireplace between the speakers, stuff on the mantle, stuff on the hearth, entertainment center to the left, sofa to the right, coffee table between seat and speakers. A little jar of rocks is no more capable of absorbing audio frequencies or altering the presentation than anything else in the room.Interestingly enough, Geoff used to provide links to scientific research on the ability of minerals to absorb light. I challenged him on his links and the fact that they mentioned nothing about a minerals' ability to absorb audio frequencies. Those links were removed a couple of years ago, and there have been no replacements. So there is nothing to support his claim (scientifically) that minerals can absorb audio frequencies.
To make a claim such as this: "The reason Brilliant Pebbles is such an effective "node damper" (energy dissipater) in audio applications is that it transfers energy more efficiently and rapidly than virtually all other energy dissipation type devices." is ludicrous.
What is this claim based on? Has he taken the time to use proven dissipation devices, take measurements, and compare them to a substitute of BP's? Nope. It's based merely on a theory that if minerals can absorb light, they must be able to absorb mechanical energy down to the audible frequencies. But there are no links to support such a claim. Newbies to his web site would not know this since the links to light absorption capabilities have been removed.
Nothing can change the "mind" of the naysayer posing as a skeptic. I also gave you leads on the chip, too, but you couldn't get to square one.If you weren't such a squawky little goose, you'd find the information for yourself and stop relying on me. LOL

Colossal waste of my time. A square peg will never fit into a round hole. Just like there is nothing to substantiate the claims made on your web site.

I will. Thanks...
As for the General vs. Prop Head venue question, my vote goes for General. I personally don't have a problem with them remaining at General, in fact, that would be my preference. If they are to go anywhere else I think a new Asylum is warranted.

I don't think a new Asylum should be for new postings. Just a place for acrimonious and polarized threads to be sent. IOW, a thread pointer being left behind on whichever Asylum the tussle originates.

Can't say that I blame them.

. . . I agree, actually, that these belong on General, but if need be a new asylum is fine. But while your idea is good about new postings, if there's a new forum one should be allowed to add to the pre-existing death spiral. ;-)
