Vibration Control


Why do solid state audio electronics with no moving parts need or benefit from vibration control? 
 

It makes perfect sense that turntables, CD transports, R2R tape decks, loudspeakers & tubed electronics (w/ potentially micro phonic tubes) might all benefit from various methods of vibration control or mitigation but I don’t see why anything else would. Any thoughts??

The main thing here is to audition it and see if you like the result. If you don't, return it. But why dismiss something out of ignorance. I've tried things where I liked what they did, and things that I didn't. I tried some Walker Audio brass/lead discs that seemed to deaden the sound when placed on equipmemt. I got a 5" thick maple board to put under my turntable and it did a remarkable job of opening up and clarifying the midrange. 

It's cool just to try and experiment. Maybe you may not understand why it makes a difference, but it really only matters that it does or it doesn't.
