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?

I’m more and more getting the feeling that there is more than a little quid pro quo happening on this website, name brand advertising for benefits.
is this an admission of guilt? You can tell us, we’re all friends in here, aren’t we?

Maybe one of the haters is having second thoughts
Haters, haters, we see no haters. Much.

He uses isolation. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/615 and cable lifters, what the? Shill?
If you're going to insult someone, because they may be haughty at times, it may not pay to dismiss truth.

That, and some major rotator cuff strain from all the patting oneself on the back.

rubbed the wrong way nonoise?

Vibrations, the good the bad and the ugly. Obviously we want the good vibrations, and reduce the bad ones. And doing that selectively takes knowledge, and effort and an attitude that will allow for learning.

Sometimes people have vibrations, and these vibrations meet with our own nodes, they are recognised and well, the reaction can be pretty uncomfortable.

Interesting that you chose such a specific injury, close to home perhaps? Repetitive strain injury in your past in the shoulder joint perhaps nonoise?

I have found that component isolation always thins out the sound and causes a weak tonal quality, it is for the detail oriented listener, it is not for me at all, you lose too much body to the music from it.
