Go for it, Dave. A magnetic suspension system might be very interesting indeed.
Sounds all a bit Marty McFly to me!!!!!! ;)
I've often thought about it, the japs have the hover train sorted?????
Set up right, varying the magnetic field could potentially change the amount of damping. I guess the question is are we looking to get it rigid or doe we want some flexibility for damping effect??? Also, do we want such strong magnetic fields near the equipment???
Personally, I think the damping combined with isolation of the Isonoes is just right for the mass of the Technics. I think a magnetic system could have potential, but it would have to go some to beat the Isonoes on performance and, ultimately, sound quality.
I'm waiting for Arthur to finish production of his 'Kinetic Cradle', which I think could be a very interesting and highly effective solution to vibration management :)
Marco.
Magnetic isolation and kinetic cradles.. sounds very cool indeed. :) I need to know more!
Hmm, I have a lathe! I must make something like this for my speakers.Quote:

Very nice Andre - just googled those to have a look ...
Now if only someone would buy my James Bond "Goldfinger" poster, I could get back to buying some hi-fi! :eyebrows:

Surprised I got it for that !
