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?

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. :-)

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? 
Would you like to see the letter from the Washington State Health Department dismissing the fraudulent complaints against my license by haters on this website? Would you like to see the letter signed by mijostyn, thecarpathian, edgewound, mapman, nonoise and jetter? The threatening one I received just before the Health Dept notice? If you think it is tiresome reading my digs maybe imagine if half a dozen nut jobs were obsessed with and messing with you to this extent. One of them brags about how he will keep coming back again and again, different user name, different IP address. Sound familiar?
I knew it. He's completely lost his mind, or was long gone all along. If MC has been posting BS, junk science, and misinformation about Covid on other public sites, someone took notice and may have reported him. It could have very well been a co-worker or acquaintance who knows he works in a hospital, which would make even more sense.

MC is not shy about touting how he's a medical professional and knows things and has seen things in hospitals that are false. This tactic has been trending on the right wing sites for some time: to write, post,  or call into talk shows and start spouting off the exact same nonsense. It's part of their script and people have been getting busted over it.

But to come out on this site and accuse others here who politically disagree with him for some sympathy and to raise the ire and hate of others who think like him is down there with the lowest of the lows.

It's one thing to constantly lose arguments on stupid political beliefs but to get some kind of payback by defaming members here is just sick and pathetic.

All the best,
Nonoise

Given speakers are a source of vibration, what do folks think they are isolating their speakers from when they try and isolate their them? The other speaker?

Speakers sound best when they are firmly grounded to a solid base i.e. not isolated from their base. Best to spend the effort and $$ isolating other components from the speakers and the vibrations caused by the speakers. 

Transformers vibrate, so it's a good idea to isolate individual components from one another. Stacking components normally produces undesirable results.
