To add to the list of vibration effects including the ones I mentioned above, vibration produces microphonics in susceptible devices (wires, tubes) and also produces chassis ring if the chassis is flimsy. These effects manage to superimpose on the audio signal.
AV Racks. What difference does it make?
Im not sure i understand what difference your rack could possibly have.
I understand everybody here seems to feel that reducing all sorts of vibrations is important as well.
How is that? its not like 1's and 0's get rattled off the circuit board by vibrations
Whats the point in a better rack? What is a better rack? And how does a $1,500.00 rack make anything sound better? I mean, technically, in depth, can anybody explain this phenominon?
Sounds like a buncha horse pucky to me. Kinda like the kinds new clothing.
Does anybody have a theory of how one AV rack can sound different than another? And dont give me any of that room accoustics stuff, i dont see people talking about which sitting chair is best for sound!!!! :)
"I found that wearing wingtips and khaki shorts really opened the soundstage compared to my nikes and TH bluejeans."
I have a good understanding of electronics and accoustics, but i cannot imagine any way a rack could make a difference.
What is the theory of how a Maplewood rack might sound better than an oak for example?
Do you all use racks and isolation pods at the same time?
