Yes you did, and you apologized. When a video is posted you immediately return back to your old ways like this:
It is this attitude which I have problems with, if you hear these videos you should know something else is going on. If we can continue this conversation without premature ejaculations of this nature I would personally like to.
I'll stop ejaculating if it keeps you engaged. Let's go back to the crux of the matter that we disagree on panzerholz and how it affects sound when used in this manner,.
Whatever else might or might not be going in the videos didn't change anything for me, what I hear in them is what I heard several years ago when I conducted my own experiments with panzerholz. I heard the same anomalies 3 times last week, twice with Daizas which were easily verifiable and once in the panzerholz rack. I didn't even know what the rack was I just commented on the quality of the sound and system owner pointed out the rack and said that it was panzerholz. There was a 4th system I heard with something that looked like a panzerholz covered Stable Table but I didn't verify what it was so I never considered it the cause of what I disliked about that system.
Now peace has returned to this thread, some quick practical considerations for Tang:
1) Placing the Daizas on carpet is not what they are designed for. It just does not work well.
2) Rubber, compliant, or ball bearing footers defeat most of the Daizas purpose.
3) I do not consider the Daiza to be a replacement for the CMS stand, although it could practically serve that purpose. Sure you can attempt to go there, and you may even end up preferring it that way, but the floor would need to be solid, or its just not an option. The CMS is a stand, the Daiza is a tweak. There is a ~10 fold price differential between them for good reason.
4) My suggestion is to place the Lamms back on the CMS stands.
5) Then try with the Daizas between Lamms and stands but use different solid footers, I am sending you a bunch on Monday.
Lamms have been around for sometime now and people have tried hard footers with them including Steve with very negative results, CS footers he's using now aren't solid but compliant. Also Vladimir Lamm warns against using such aftermarket footers with any of his products.
6) From the video analysis it looks to me like there are some resonance issues with the Lamms on the CMS stands as there appear to be consistent small band spikes at 2K, 4K and some residual at 8K. This could translate into a degree of harshness and/or sibilance.
One question, how did you determine that what you measured and whatever it's supposed to represent is the fault of CMS or Lamm's feet from the video? Couldn't it be anything from your devices speakers to the recording, cartridge, tonearm alignment, the turntable, the cables, other components, a microphonic tube, low level noise in the background, etc., etc., etc?
In any case the complaints and the observations against panzerholz/Daiza were about loss of harmonics, micro and macro dynamics not this suggested resonance.
Also from video analysis the Daizas do seem to significantly reduce those spikes. They may be able to completely remove those if the rubber footers are replaced.
This is a good example of sending someone down the rabbit hole in search of the lost fart! Why I'm so vocal against such tweaks. In this case Tang and also in other cases the owners have no issues with their sound or systems, the negative reaction is only when Daiza is introduced and back to satisfaction, even for some video watchers here when Daizas are removed. You can ask your customers in private if what I say here is true or not. The logical approach, at least for me, would be to tell the person to remove the cause of aggravation and enjoy their system, as I've done with products I make or sell. You're instructing your customers, in this case Tang to disregard the manufacturer and lobotomize his $160,000 amplifiers that he's perfectly happy with without Daiza based on
a measurement from your computer's speakers. With further instructions to continue borrowing down the rabbit hole in case the lobotomy didn't work.
My so called Unprofessional approach= Eliminate the cause of the problem.
The Professional approach= Go deeper down the rabbit hole.
7) Then its just a matter of taking your time to evaluate if you prefer with or without.
8) I have actually learned a thing or 2 from all of this, the remote diagnosing using video is interesting, am going to investigate practical applications.
9) As I understand it, the Bixby voice control agent introduced with the S10 is continuously modifying your microphone input to improve speech recognition. This is something to consider when making video recordings. Just FYI.
