Isobarik stands
Posted by: monkfish on 09 July 2002
Hi all
I have an active system which was recently housed in a target 5 tier support which is not spiked at the floor, I also have PMS Isobariks on what I beleive are Linn stands made of square section metal tubing also not spiked. I have noticed if the support is touched while music is being played (loudly usually) vibration can be felt through it.
The Isobariks do throw out a lot of bass energy, some of which is being transferred into the carpeted wooden floor and must be finding it's way into the support which is placed next to but slightly behind one of the speakers. Can anyone suggest the best way of fitting spikes to the speaker stands ( my list of possibles are drill and fit with nuts, weld spikes into place),also will the stands have to be spiked top and bottom.
In the case of the target stand I can't think of any way to spike it, B.T.W. it also is square section tubing. I also have two target wall supports which will eventually hold my CD player (CD5) and my LP12, but these will not come into play until some renovation and decorating ahs been undertaken so the 5 tier will end up being host only to amplification and power supplies.
Any ideas on isolation would be very welcome but please take into account I am quite borasik at the moment and would rather modify present equipment than buy anything new.
Thanks
Jim
