Vibration - What are the Main Sources?


A current thread discussing the best tweaks gave consistently high ranking for component isolation. I am curious to know where all the vibration is coming from that we are addressing with isolation. I understand that high volume listening can create significant vibration, but for the sake of this discussion let's assume we are listening at moderate levels. Can the vibrations from moderate sound levels affect the quality of sound? Are there other common significant sources of vibration that we are guarding against that can dramatically affect sound?

The only vibration sensitive devices in audio are the phonograph cartridge and the microphone, both for obvious reasons."

You are so wrong and yet you state, pronounce, and proclaim your Audio "Truths" as though they are the 10 Commandments!

there are many other sources where vibration may influence, distort, or alter the sound of the audio signal of course I only need one example to prove you wrong and confused.

Anything with vaccuum tubes is subject to microphonics which can be influenced by vibrations that is easily demonstrated, measured, and heard. I seem to recall that you have problems with giant flapping woofers in you're Music Reproduction System so you may want to think about vibrations instead of just using a massive "rumble" filter to resolve, repair, and remedy you're problems!
