I don't know how to interpret this.
Do they study flying saucers at LLNL ?
Until now, I have never read anything under the pen of Mr. Marsh who is esoteric, crazy or contrary to my own modest experience in the matter of audio or music.
Who needs myrtle cable lifters when you can have string wire hangers......and huge loop intercept areas.
Yes, I have to fix the wire department. Another reminder - cables
So cables...isolator...shielding ( do I need shielding for power? And where I do the grounding ? Maybe it's just another wild branch I've never explored..!? )

Still haven't found the sound you are looking for ?......that sorry mess doesn't look like you have you done a signal layer audit, the very first thing to do in achieving good sound.
I wasn't taking it seriously, I simply couldn't resist employing the phrase 'angle of the dangle'. 🙂
And now, having seen picowallspeaker's component suspension arrangements, the phrase seems even more pertinent! 😉

Maybe Calder, I thought it a bit off putting at a Calder exhibit to have big notices posted that the heirs and assignees of his estate will vigorously enforce their copyrights.
Richard, I know you were successful, as well as some others, with Noel Lee. Actually, I tried working with Noel with both prototypes and contracts. That is when the trouble got worse. Noel 'lost' the prototype while having an evaluation, and he played games with the contract, so that it was impossible to go forward. That is how he played the game in the early 80's.
I had similar problems with Mobile Fidelity, who wanted to copy and reproduce my 30ips tape electronics, with me out of the loop. They threatened to sue me, if I did not give them the schematics. I finally had to give in. John Meyer apparently was going to take over.
Now, it was not all bad. I did get a fair amount of public exposure, (especially after I published the schematics for the JC-2(preamp) and JC-3 (power amp) in 'The Audio Amateur'). Now, even today, you can get close approximations of these circuits from China at a rather low price. This has helped me in recent years.

How somebody can oblige somebody else to give anything *he owns* for ... free ?
You need to see if there were any contractual obligations, we had consultants with contracts that stipulated we get no information of what was inside. They usually saw the door.
You would think professionals are familiar with contracts but...
Not at all. Still an open issue on design for hire cases.
I just had folks send me a contract that I signed and returned. They haven't returned a signed copy. What do you think their obligation is?
I don't think we were talking about the legal mechanics of executing a contract. I was talking about the terms, you want to hire a consultant to build a critical piece of test equipment but he stipulates that you will get no information on how to repair or maintain it because he considers that proprietary. No deal.
No that is the issue. Did you hire the consultant to give you a design or a piece of gear?
In the concert business the question is who owns the mixer settings? Today these are stored in a thumb drive. Does the "engineer," the band, the promoter or the sound company own the settings?
What has happened is initially a skilled person is used to do the first few gigs. Then they get replaced by a lower paid replacement? Should the first hire take the settings?
