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 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.

If those are your results, you aren't using the right devices or techniques for isolation and anti-vibration.
If setup correctly music will have more body, more weight to it. Bass will be extended and tight, music should present as more open and spacious.

Check the archives, there are many threads on system and component isolation.

Yes to all that and more.


Or maybe speakermaster has a flaw in his system. Such as a speaker or cable being out of phase.

A list of your components will help the forum decide how revealing your system is.
