I'm Puzzled

It's interesting that the less sense an idea makes, the more some audiophiles want to believe it.

I've chuckled at that notion for years ........

Good luck to the Browns this coming weekend !

I have been thinking about buying a new power conditioner. During my research I found that the Shunyata Denali has vibration mats attached to the inside of the covers. There is a video on their website that talks about it. They probably wouldn't add them if they don't feel they were needed. Typically, adding damping to a chassis tends to smooth the highs a bit. Short story.....Many years ago I purchased a Kyocera CD player. After a few weeks of having it I opened it up to look inside. They had a big bar of steel bolted to the bottom of the chassis. I am pretty sure it was done to make it heavier, not for sound quality. It worked as it was heavier than the other one I was looking at...lol.

FWIW, steel is a good electromagnetic shield, and it may have also provided some form of chassis ground depending on how it was used and how the rest of the chassis was constructed.
