Vibration - What are the Main Sources?

@hilde45 - have you tired isolation springs? Like even the inexpensive Nobosound type? I have a concrete slab under my system, which is all on springs.

@oldhvymec

So, "No it’s not complex" in your second sentence, and "Complex yes" in your last sentence. Who can argue with that?

Guess you’re prepared to explain electronic oscillation? Those dumb engineers using complex numbers - what a bunch of dummies. Or maybe you could simplify Cox and D’Antonio (Acoustic Absorbers and Diffusers) down to a few sentences? Or how about the modes of vibration in a square sheet, and what to do about it (without differential equations, of course)?

I’m in awe, Oldhvymec.

Oh no it's to way to complex for me. As for the rest of the mumbo jumbo your blathering. Equate this.. Be quiet you might learn something..

My oscillator tells me your education has limited your ability to understand the simplest of things..

Life is very easy, folks like you just make it "difficult". Engineer that bucko! As far as dummies, yea I've worked with a few engineers that were really intelligent, they always listen to the ol mechanic IF they want to learn.

Now if we want to see what YOU'VE read, applied and is a tried and true method, WITHOUT the impressive mumbo jumbo verbiage "I'M an Engineer" chest thumpin'" crap. TRY that approach other than implying WE'RE to FU@KIN' stupid to understand. BUT you some how did..

Complex numbers.. LOL you just can't help yourself.. Most folks use their toes TOO, DUMMY. I know you won a local science fair in the 4th grade, it's been down hill ever since.

"I'm in AWE", good I do that to people, often from what I hear.

If there were any insults implied or otherwise that I may have missed, may I return them to the person they came from.. My plate is way to full of wonderful compliments, no room for jealousy ..

Please WASH your hand before leaving the Doctors office, you've gotten your first vaccination for "I'm smarter than you complex". Hopefully it takes..

MC provides good information as usual. But what is he talking about in the rest of his comments? Airing personal grievances, paranoia? It has nothing to do with the subject matter in this thread.

Anybody else confused and tired of reading it throughout the forum?

You’re doing great MC. If I got a beef, your the first to know it, not the last.

What's the deal with the letter to the work place or board of whatever. WTF that ain't cool AT ALL!!

I’m not confused and I’m not tired of reading it on the forums. Consistency counts!!

SPRINGS work, period.. It Smears NOTHING.. Try it.. It’s very inexpensive. One up from there is to dampen the spring itself spray them with a flexible coating or insert a gummy puffer inside the spring. One up from there is to dampen the top and base on either end of the spring, (a pod). This is not NEW, it has been around a LONG LONG time.

Horse and buggy and blacksmith come to mind..

It’s just been refined to use (with great success) on stereo gear.. The information has been out there for a long time. The way they look cost money... They way they work cost some money. :-)

"zlone" = Corvette or Camaro?

So now for the stupid question,  We isolate the speakers, the DAC and so forth.  Music is still vibrating the box, the parts, the speaker jacks, the everything.  Does this also affect the sound?  Why would it be different?  PS Everyone, almost, like the springs.  What about Herbie's products?
