They're more expensive, to be sure, but they are more effective than the Herbie's products. The VibSensor data plotted in JMP data supports this. And, as we say in science, "the data is data".
Any opinions as two whether 1-1/4” IKEA bamboo boards or 1-1/8 granite plinths would serve as a better amp base? One or two. If two, Herbie’s Giant Dots between them. TIA
Personally, I'd use the IKEA bamboo boards. Granite can ring.
That steel looks pretty classy, PeterA, not to mention the wood beneath.
Always love that look Peter. Proportions are really beautiful and balanced… not that I’m a design tragic or anything lol PS even nicer with the Lamms
The progression to the Lamms and the tubes with the structural cool of the steel and the organic warmth of mahogany below it is where I’d happily stay as well… looks beautifully settled.
Beautiful table!
There is some trepidation for me because while that wood in the slabs is beautifully figured more importantly it has great sentimental value for me. I bought it out of an inheritance when my grandfather passed. He was a carpenter and builder who built houses in the modernist era and he was the inspiration for the house that I designed in the village on the lake that he used to visit for holidays when he was a child. I clad the house in recycled red mahogany shiplap and it is the kind of material and detail that we both really loved.
Yup
SRA was the close 2nd. My problem with SRA is that it is more equipment specific. Nothing to do with its performance for the model it is spec'd for. They are excellent and that is coming from a competitor. That is an expensive proposition for a distributor or dealer like myself that demos many different amplifiers. They were literally in a dead heat then CMS went modular and incorporated the frame and contact point changes that made them more, shall we say, long term keepers for as long as the new amps fit.
