Vibration Control

"In General solid state circuits are not effected by acoustic vibration."  You have been misinformed

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!

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.
