![]() Here air pressure equals resonant frequency. And yes, to maintain Stacore's recommended pressure for each of their four bladders (two are cross-linked), you'll need to pump them up every few months. It's really no wonder that John Darko's man on the street views extremist audio as teetering on the lunatic fringe. But with the Stacore Advanced, even DACs, preamps, amps and speakers can pimp out their air ride and do a Symposium roller block shimmy. Ditto for air-suspension turntables like those from Walker Audio. Townshend's Seismic Sinks are just one example for prior and competing art in our sector. Jarek suggested that I put his device directly on the floor. I mentioned their simpler amp stand as perhaps a suitable starting place to review the Stacore. Those would just pile one resonance control device atop another. It renders most add-on solutions ineffective. When theoretical physicist Jarek Korbicz promoted their "hand-crafted state-of-the-art platforms designed from the onset for audio not laboratory use" as "a fresh original take on several damping/isolation mechanisms to achieve wide-bandwidth six-axis isolation encased in impregnated premium Italian amorphous slate", I pointed him at our purpose-designed Spanish Artesania Audio rack. To kit out your entire rig component by component could easily go through more than most folks have invested in their entire systems. This fringe product is thus very heavy, seriously expensive and supports just one component. That mechanical distortion begins outside the signal path but interacts with the signal in ways which are thought to be beyond the reach of more primitive racks, footers and pucks to cancel out. It removes a source of potential distortion. Consider this excerpt from Fair Hedon's interview with mastering engineer Brian Lucey, in a segment on MQA: ".they've been targeting the weakest players in our world, the audiophiles. And they're targeting those most dependent on pimping new tech, the audiophile press." Today's pneumatic platform from Poland's Gdańsk pimps existing tech (air suspension + roller bearings + high mass) and targets it at the most secretive players in our world: the invisible actors of mechanical vibrations and speaker-generated air pressurization and how those might misread our playback script.
