My argument in the past, this approach does not have much relevance at infinitesimal fractions of a wavelength.
That's great and how it should be, what's not great and not how it should be is that you feel the need to tell everyone. It sounds to me that in reality you need to know that others know how you feel about it.
Merrill isn't his last name. Now this will let you discover many related things.
Not "we", but "they".
They do design using the industry standards but dress it up to make their products look fancier. Then they try to flood the market with F.U.D.
How to tell who those are? It's the amount of effort and time they spend trying to discredit double blind test. They are VERY persistent (when money is involved, people do that).
Oh, yeah. You can do whatever you want for your own happiness. I'm not criticizing that. But when you post claims on forums (as opposed to minding your own business enjoying your own audio system), it's good to have supporting evidence.
This is a hobby forum, I have read many things here that have helped my system sound better. If I can share what I have tried and found to work for me with others I am giving back. I see nothing wrong with this, we are all here because we like audio and like to build and try things.
I am telling you my experience, which might help someone make their system sound better to them. It is not a claim, just my experience. The best thing to do is try it for yourself, how else will you know?
You posted claims of sound improvement.
So when you see a dog poop in your front yard and want to get rid of it, you use a scoop / shovel or wrap your hand with something impermeable like plastic bag because it smells and has all sorts of germs, right? Or does it? How else will you know without trying it with bare hands?

Sure, by all means, build and try things if that's what you like. Do you like posting claims on forums? If so, by all means, do it. There are others who like to reply to audio claims on forums. Do you see something wrong with that?
I wouldn't be too strict, in some cases the measurements simply don't matter in fact even DBT doesn't matter. The colorations preferred are strong and obvious to virtually all listeners.
I assume you are well aware of this lot ? Vibration Isolation Platform & Table Systems | Isolators, Platforms & Tables very popular with well heeled turntable owners.
I'm sure the LIGO folks share their solutions in the scientific community, though you will need a few zeros added to the ones in Bill's link. IIRC they told me the current design was limited to the thermal lattice vibrations of the mirror coatings so there is a Japanese project to do cryo-mirrors.

Nope, no one here is required to read or reply to anyone's posts. If someone wants to reply to a post they can. We are all here for the interaction with audio liking people. This is our common hobby.
Green marker applied on the outer edge of CD improves sound. Others said it doesn't in their double blind test. One should still try it, right? How else will one know?
The guys working it bought something for tests. It was amazing to see a 15 ton granite table respond to human voices in the room.
The vibe studies were for the ILC, which was back burnered, one of the leaders moved on to LIGO. Barrish, I think.
They are thinking of the linear collider again, this time in Japan. By the time they decide, I won't be around to build the final focus magnets.
A group here is doing mirrors, all kinds of elements and compounds, they build the coating one atomic layer at a time. The researcher gave a seminar, one measure of success was radius of curvature reduction of the coated substrate. I asked them what temp they deposited at and what temperature they measured at.
Classic deer in the headlight look.
My work here is done...

That's true Rick. I'm certainly here for the interaction, and prepared to be shot down in flames when I take part in it!
The present topic invokes polarised opinions which may never be reconciled.
However, it's good fun participating in the discussion!
