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 no doubt that pauly is as dense as he sounds. Too bad he allows posts by MC that have zero relevance to audio and yet allows that foul mouth libeler to go there time and again. 

And then, so as to look balanced and sane, laments the lack of decorum. What bald faced hypocrisy.

All the best,

Everything vibrates. Our planet has a heartbeat also.
Looking at one aspect is our AC power. It vibrates at 60 or 50 Hz a second. I inspect my breaker panel once or twice a year. The connection will get lose over time due to vibration.
All we can is to keep trying to make things better.
Lets all try and keep these forums on topic.
We can all do better

Yes everything vibrates. But some will gladly play others by stoking fear and uncertainty. Including fear that some undetected vibration will negatively impact some audiophile’s sound. Once a fear of some problem exists you can then sell some expensive esoteric fix that nobody would care about otherwise. It’s how these things work. Marketing is all a game you know.
