Vibration

Tom, please share your ideas. If they aren't Top Secret I'd love to hear them.

Tom, that's easy. Damping. Let the vibration isolation system will deal with structureborne vibrations above 3 Hz.

How so, Tom? Am I missing something?

Mass-on-spring vibration isolation systems. There's really no substitute.

Transistors are affected by vibration, so is the amp's internal wiring, among other things. I have isolated a great many solid state and tube amps, maybe hundreds, including John Curl's JC-1s, the big Jeff Rowland amp, the really big 200 lb Classe amp, CTC Bar-B-Q amp, the BWS mono tube amps with outboard power supplies (600 lb delivered), etc.

Tom, huh?

Tom, you need to discharge the "capacitor." I do not like stored energy any more than you do. As I already intimated "discharging the capacitor" is fairly easy and actually rather trivial compared to advanced vibration isolation techniques - you know, as opposed to tennis balls and inner tubes.
