about the extra bang from good subsonic isolation.... they reviewed the Minus-K... a mechanical and somewhat fancy approach to subsonic isolation... their conclusion was that it mattered, how much it mattered depended a lot on the resolving power of your active circuits, the room, and so on...

Hi.You know what I mean. Don't take in whoever tells you. It could be smoke mirrors with undisclosed agenda behind.

Hi.....that vendors out there spying on.
I'm pretty sure my phone is tapped.

Yes, all of which has been known for 10 years. Since the introduction of the Vibraplane.
of the active isolators, the semi-passives (minus-k), and the constrained viscoelastic shelves, etc... and out of that, is there any substantial gain from reducing sub-sonics ? The fans of SRA, i.e. Silent Running Audio think that a precision tuned base which accounts for the resonance characteristics of a *specific* component in the design of a particular base make a substantial difference... so there's one vote for well structured passive design...
As I recall someone on the asylum attempted what you suggest a couple yrs ago, but he limited the eval to around 8 products.I imagine it would be quite an undertaking to do a thorough evaluation, with who knows how many products out there (are there more than 20?!). Who will pick the condenders and by what criteria? And what system should be used for the evaluation, and whose ears? LOL
