It seems reasonable to begin with the science -- as a preliminary to listening -- but I do not follow the logic here. The source of the vibration is principally the floor: the table should therefore not be coupled with spikes but decoupled from the floor.


Since you evoke some logic here, albeit post factum when I already found out and stated several times that the spikes
couple and even how they couple, let me ask you something out of pure curiosity. Floor is always one of the major sources of vibrations,
why is then every single rack, including Romy's custom high mass RixRax, spiked?
I've been publicly wondering about that and I don't know the answer. Maybe you do?

Actually I plan to float the whole electronics cage on the airsprings, if the ones under the TT prove to work well, rather than spiking it.
I did not float the whole TT stand at the floor level to avoid a double compliance system with it's potential to beat. Somewhat similarly to e.g.
Romy's style power supplies: RCLC, rather than LCLC, with the last C close to the decoupled stage.

Cheers,
