Tube microphonics


Hello. I am using Audio Research Ref 750 mono blocks and they in front of my speakers but off to the sides. Someone told me on another site that if I move the amps beside the speakers and not in front of them , my system will improve immensely. It will reduce tube microphonics. What are your opinions of this and I just want to say that I’m very new to tube amps so this is something I never heard of before. Thank you all.

Oh brother... to much audio internet info.

Not saying a tube can become microphonic, but that looks like perfect example of A.N.

I’d stay away from audio forums and just enjoy your excellent gear.

Edit-It's a free exercise to move them, so try it. Everything in audiophoolery is YMMV.
