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??

"Hearsay belief not scientifically validated."  Not so fast...

At CAF many years ago, I passed by a vendor demonstrating arched-wood isolation devices that were sold to fit under stereo component's feet.  These devices were the same type of laminated-wood product that Fank Lloyd Wright designed into trusses to support the roofs of buildings.

The vendor also had a microphone that was attached to a PC and used graphic display software so that I could see, in real-time, 3D (two dimensions + color) the transmitted sound frequency and intensity of the noise in the hallway, my voice and my knuckle tapping on the stand. 

Although I did not buy the product, the apparatus clearly showed how effective the wood-arcs were at mitigating sound transmission.  100% scientific.

Sorry, but lack of experience does not evoke 'Hearsay'.
