ROGOZ AUDIO ANTI-VIBRATION AUDIO STAND 4RP3/BBS

3-level, four-legged stand with glossy piano finish. Double shelves 2 x 30 mm thick are separated by BBS. BBS has kinematic and dynamic qualities which enable isolated masses to “float” to the sides relative to the system axis, maintaining point support at the same time. BBS also makes it possible to level the stand shelves. Anti-vibration stands are designed for high end audio components.

The audio stand structure incorporates a new proprietary Rogoz Audio antivibration system, BBS (Balancing Board System, Patent P.404137 Pending). The system consists of a threaded, height-adjustable spike made of high-fiber-content steel alloy, on top of which two elements are placed, each with an inner bearing. An intermediary (middle) element is made of carbon fiber and supports another element, a steel bearing inserted into the shelf. Point contact between the steel spike and the carbon intermediary element prevents movement of either element relative to its axis, but it allows pendular motion. Meanwhile, the contact between the intermediary element and the bearing inserted into the shelf allows restricted rolling motion and sliding motion. Consequently, the advantages of spike point support (contact area has been minimized and kinetic energy turns into heat) have been combined with the effects of deadening vibrations owing to to sliding friction and rolling resistance.

High Fidelity main award – BEST OF THE BEST AUDIO VIDEO SHOW 2015: Studer + Chord + Cabasse + Pro-Ject + Cardas + Rogoz Audio. “The Voice system with the master-tape copy, played on a Studer 807 tape recorder, was a revelation. Listening to the Beatles then, one could understand what people complaining about digital sound really had in mind, and no one has replicated this with digital recordings yet. One of the sound features of the Audio Show was the Voice system, based on Chord products which we had tested, including a RED Reference One MkIII CD player (the test results to be published in December). The speakers used were Cabasse Pacific 3 SA. Three elements constituted sound sources: a Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon gramophone, a Chord DAVE DAC, and a Studer 807 tape recorder. All these were placed on a Rogoz Audio stand. [. . . ] One of the important elements of the Voice sound system was a Rogoz Audio stand, created by Mr. Janusz Rogoż (in the photo).”
