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??

Something a fellow member Krissy sent me this morning and something I have been saying for years. Where there is motion there is resonant energy..Isolation can only exist in the absence of matter.

If you listened to a CD on your player and then placed that same player on a LiveVibe platform you will hear a big improvement in all areas of SQ.Playing thru headphones no speakers..TomD

I am a believer in resonance control thru the use of mechanical grounding. I do this in my own products offered for cello and bass and as product adviser for the predecessor and the now retitled Live Vibe Audio.

A few yrs ago after reconfiguring my Altmann DAC assembling a 12 chip DAC tower on a separate board it required a even larger 12 volt battery around 40 pounds. I used this set up for a few months. I am forever experimenting and decided to place the battery on a LiveVibe platform that was just alone in a corner.

I placed the heavyweight battery on the brass coupling discs and then the battery on top of this assembly. The battery is a totally passive device though one with a chemical reaction.

There was an improvement in sound of my system with the sleepy battery at slumber on top of the platform.
