Solid State Vibration Isolation: Utter Tripe?

May 9, 2011 at 3:03 AM Post #17 of 17
I've touched a power sander to gear (sans sandpaper) while playing and it didn't make a damed bit of difference. Well, the CD player didn't like it and I didn't bother with the turntable since I didn't feel like ruining a stylus.

Also, maple transmits vibrations, really, really well. My cousin's kitchen is entirely rock maple and I did all the finish work, sanding and applying the finish. My favorite part of woodwork, so I volunteered. Maple is so dense and rigid, a sander's vibes go right through. It's not as bad with softer woods which absorb more. If I had to choose a wood to absorb vibrations, I'd go with something like pine.

Also, tripe truly is delicious. If only the local Mexican places didn't serve menudo strictly on weekends....


m,.you'd hope they'd put an actual dampening material... :D rubberized something :D ?
