Racks aside, I’ve had scant success, or just rotten luck, with vibration-control devices. It’s certainly not for lack of trying. As a much younger man, I once placed two computer keyboard–type wrist pads, each about the size of a turkey sub, under my EAR 859 integrated amp. When I gave the amp a push, it jiggled reassuringly. Sitting down to listen, I heard an improvement that was, literally, stunning: a massive expansion of the soundfield, more detail and texture, faster transients, and a smoother, more musical personality. I felt like a genius, but only for another day. That’s how long it took for the memory gel in the pads to compress to their new shape under the amplifier and for the benefits to evaporate.
