Vibration Control

[yabaVR]

I don't want to offend and I don't know the Anzus puks, but if you, TDA, can't hear a difference there is something quiet wrong with your system and/or room acoustics. The more flaws there are in your room/system the less you notice any improvement of some puks underneath e.g. your Devs. If nothing is tuned with the room and/or system you might have a rather dull performing audio system compared to a fully tuned room/system.

Maybe this is correct.  However, there is an alternative hypothesis.  Maybe the performance of the electronics in TDA's system are not in any significant way influenced by the low level vibrations that products like puks claim to reduce.  In this scenario, the puks would not make any real audible difference irrespective of how it is set up, no product would.

Maybe is the correct term   .
I've been working with this things for nearly 30years and it's not the sales - it's fun for me to play with. It's the daily basis for a responsible dealer to work with these things NOT only to sell them but to get the best out of every component of a system and give the customer the opportunity to hear MUSIC and not only sound.

When was your last time you got a demonstration, let's say of a loudspeaker (or else), at a hifi-shop and you were NOT concentrating only on the SOUND after some minutes of accustoming to the system.
If your concentration would have hiked to the MUSIC your dealer most likely would have done something very pleasant to the system and you should ask him what kind of tuninig is involved. Because for sure there is!

I'm totaly with you that these extreme pricey accessoires are not needed. There are alternatives...and/but they all sound different/better/worse.

Try for yourself to put anything under your Devialet you can imagine. Put some LEGO-bricks underneath or some glasses, half cut tennisballs (yeah the 80's), something soft like a sponge and in heavy contrast some old spikes out of your audio casket.

I swear, if you are not completely deaf you can hear a difference in sound. And there is your first sign if something like those Anzus-puks can have an impact on sound or not. If it gets you nearer to music is another thing.

That's one reason a Dev on a glasboard does not sound alike as on wooden board.

If you don't hear a difference when trying out these odd suggestions...take your time. Try to hear differences at night (1am) when powerline is cleaner and your mood is more relaxed. Everything contributes.
Play with these things and don't get too serious. All by it it's fun.

To my experience the Devialets are very sensitive to tuning. Even if you put it on a highend rack and think it's best decoupled from vibration you get positive results with puks.

The best way to get rid of most of this things is to put your system back to an other room only having the speakers with you and remote everything. As one customer said, it's a hugh difference in sound though I can't tell. Never done it myself and I like the shining of my Dev .
