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 saw a demo at AXPONA years ago with a company selling antivibration products and platforms. They had an A/B switch of some kind hooked up that let you do comparisons. This was not a demo of turntables. I was shocked that I did actually hear a difference. Was the difference better? I wasn't sure and this was listening to headphones. I do know these products do make a difference in solid state products but to what degree I don't know. I would imagine it would be entirely system dependent. It would be entirely up to the individuals to decide if it was worth the money, but it does impact sound!
