In my particular set up I have my speakers on isolation feet. I’ll keep the brand out as everyone has their own tastes. I rebuilt my house so I paid a lot of attention to insulation. I have 5.5 inches of closed cell foam in the floors. All exterior walls are closed cell! Attic is open cell. All interior walls are insulated! Also ran insulation down all the trusses! Have cork flooring throughout the house. Room is also treated with acoustical panels in corners where loading was an issue. Also all glass is double pain high impact! I am amazed at how controlled the bass is. I have nothing vibrating anywhere in the room. It’s awesome. I believe that the overall sound improved with speakers on feet vs not. There are so many variables unique to everyone’s set up, it will be trial and error until the golden combination is achieved imho. The constant pursuit of audio nirvana been fueling the industry forever!😎🎶
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?
