Hi all,
I am using Target stands for my EPOS and also a steel AV rack made by a local company Dome Audio. When I changed from putting my gear from just a normal wooden table to the steel Dome AV rack, I can hear much improvement on the sound quality from my set up.
However, over the past weekend, I was talking to the manager of Audio Timber Support (ATS) at the KL AV show and he said that wood is a better vibration absorber compared to steel. I have never tried using wooden racks nor stands. So, I decided to purchase one of their acacia wood stands complete with spikes and spike supports. The stands are pretty heavy, I reckon it weighs about 10 kgs each. I opted for a 30" height model.
Replaced the Target stands and the sound from EPOS completely changed, for the better of course. However, I am not sure whether it is because of the wood or the elvetade height of the speakers as my Target stands was only 24".
How true it is about the statement that wood is a better vibration absorber or dampener?
