This is my first attempt at posting so please approach with caution.
My understanding is that Vibration of any type creates inefficiencies throughout all mechanical, electromechanical and acoustic signal pathways. Therefore why would caps, resistors, circuit boards, wire that are subjected to vibration NOT become affected?
All electronic parts along with everything else vibrates from the three conduits mentioned above within a musical environment so my perception is that even the smallest of electronic parts, chassis, speaker drivers, walls, floors and ceilings are vibrating and are heavily influenced by the effects of Coulomb friction which is caused from vibration.
In searching audio this paper is the only one that I was able to locate that addresses the phenomenon.

Page 5 and 6 provide some understandable and worthwhile information on the subject.
I am a fan of mechanical coupling in audio reproduction, moving resonant energy continuously away from components and speakers and using hard environmental surfaces in recording environments.
I do not follow or agree with the theorems of true isolation in trying to avoid or eliminate vibration in audio reproduction and have learned from experience to stay away from most absorptive soft materials and techniques.
Disclaimer: My father works with a commercial company that employs various forms of vibration management so I am biased, have had greater access to knowledge from experience and have applied these principles in recording studios as a testing ground.
