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??

I follow the damping/isolation prowess of Angela Gilbert Yeung, but long before that I started damping everything. Transformer isolation is a biggie, for sure. The top panels of gear are very "ringy" and "reverberant" sounding. Damp them with a Dynamat type material and you will be surprised that the component will now sound quieter and more resolute through your system. Oh, I have been damping speaker horns for over 50 years now. My best, MrD.
