The effects of vibration and tube amps


I have been considering running my tube amps next to my speakers. I've heard that one should run speaker cable as short as possible, so I thought I would try it. It seems like the amps will be subjected to a lot of vibration from the speakers even if put on a isolation platform. Can anyone comment on this?

Thanks!

You might want to try with the ninety day home trial offer, a set of Herbies Audio Lab tube dampers, as well as a set of his proprietary material, inexpensive footers, such as Big Black Fat Dots (reminds me of that famous jelly ad: "with a name like Schmuckers, it has to be good"). Beneath the dots is your flat wood floor, wood plank, or marble/granite smooth tile. Some tonal seasoning to personal taste is possible.
Also, place these beneath your speakers -- crudely named footers can be wonderfully helpful at optimizing performance, without spending many dollars. Only $8.85 each, less than the sales tax on some other outstanding support ideas.
The herbiesaudiolab.com website is over-filled with variations on his vibration control products, and they really worked for me, even when the deeper bass output of transmission line loudspeaker physically close to tube amp.
