Vibration control / Decoupling - why it is critical

I can barely afford to look :wink:

This looks fairly complicated !

How about this? By Harmonic Resolution

A new High Fidelity review of the latest Rogoz Audio VOLTA/BBS anti-vibration platform with Balancing Board System

ROGOZ AUDIO ANTI-VIBRATION AUDIO PLATFORM VOLTA/BBS

The platform in the test >>tweaks<< the midrange the most. While the upper range is sweet with it and the low range is nice, somewhat soft, pleasant, the midrange seems to flourish. That’s why Ellington’s piano on the aforementioned CD was so neat with it, so ‘present,’ but it’s also why the recordings of JEAN-MICHEL JARRE’s electronic music included on a CD from the Houston and Lyon concerts sounded in a pleasant, malleable way. And malleability is an important category for this platform. It describes the sensation of three-dimensionality and smooth transitions between blocks of sound.
(“High Fidelity”, No. 209, October 2021)

Anti-vibration platform with „sandwich” structure. Double shelves 2 x 30 mm thick and bases 30 mm thick are separated by BBS. BBS has kinematic and dynamic qualities which enable isolated masses to “float” to the sides relative to the system axis, maintaining point support at the same time. BBS also makes it possible to level the stand shelves. The shelves are covered with natural wood veneer (in the version shown, it is high gloss maple wood). Antivibration platforms are designed for high end audio components.

The audio platform structure incorporates a new proprietary Rogoz Audio antivibration system, BBS (Balancing Board System, Patent P.404137). The system consists of a threaded, height-adjustable spike made of high-fiber-content steel alloy, on top of which two elements are placed, each with an inner bearing. An intermediary (middle) element is made of carbon fiber and supports another element, a steel bearing inserted into the shelf. Point contact between the steel spike and the carbon intermediary element prevents movement of either element relative to its axis, but it allows pendular motion. Meanwhile, the contact between the intermediary element and the bearing inserted into the shelf allows restricted rolling motion and sliding motion. Consequently, the advantages of spike point support (contact area has been minimized and kinetic energy turns into heat) have been combined with the effects of deadening vibrations owing to to sliding friction and rolling resistance.

Fast forward to 2023…. Audioholics review

Elsewhere in other parts of the world, the use of Gaia footers on granite platform…

I’m using the same approach as above, except I had sorbothane and cork underneath the granite platform…
