Vibration - What are the Main Sources?

I got disappeared.

Me too..

If the tweeter and woofer did not move, you would have one quiet speaker!

There is just mids and highs being used in my monitors, and they are small planars and ribbons in a 425 # HDF cabinet. There’s not much moving, especially the cabinet, the forward baffle has a convex taper from 12.5 to less than 6" wide.

It doesn’t even collect distortion very well.
I still isolate the cabinet from the floor and don’t use the bass section at all. Haven’t for years.. BASS belongs in another cabinet.. Subs are already in their own cabinet.

How do you mechanically time align bass drivers in the same cabinet as the mids and highs.. You can’t... At least I never could.. Sub frequencies forget it... they are WAY out of alignment with the main monitors, much less the whole vibration thing..

hahahaha yes, silent

It is mostly in the minds of lay people who have no background in science and do not understand the psychology behind hearing. The only vibration sensitive devices in audio are the phonograph cartridge and the microphone, both for obvious reasons. They are the only devices that need to be isolated from environmental vibration/rumble. It is generated by the stereo obviously, devices in the house like the refrigerator and AC and finally the ground shaking from such things as big trucks running down your street.
Electronics are not effected by vibration. Electrons could give a hoot. If they were we would have F22s crashing all over the place as they are completely controlled by electrons. If we blinded all these silly people they would never be able to tell which devices were isolated or not excepting perhaps the turntable. Silly in the Monty Python sense. 
This circus is subsidized by reputable manufacturers who do not want to alienate potential customers, they remain quiet on the subject. Others take advantage of it. Why not? All is fair when it comes to making money.
If people want to spend their money on silly things it is their prerogative and problem. Big Pharma does this in spades.  

@pauly - speakers generate internal vibrations from their drivers moving and push vibrations to the floor vibrating everything. That is why you want to isolate them and take the vibrations out of the cabinets. Most good speakers either come with spikes or platforms or something to decouple them from the floor. Same is true for amps, phono stages, CD players, DACs, you name it.

When I put my speakers on multilayer platforms, the sound was clearer and cleaner. I could put the layer on top or isolation pods or blocks or something, but I just don't want that floating effect because the speakers are tall and thin. Everything else floats.

IMHO the turntable is the place where the most improvement can come the easiest. A pod/block based platform on top of a wall shelf really combats vibration.

mijostyn"The only vibration sensitive devices in audio are the phonograph cartridge and the microphone, both for obvious reasons."

You are so wrong and yet you state, pronounce, and proclaim your Audio "Truths" as though they are the 10 Commandments!

there are many other sources where vibration may influence, distort, or alter the sound of the audio signal of course I only need one example to prove you wrong and confused.

Anything with vaccuum tubes is subject to microphonics which can be influenced by vibrations that is easily demonstrated, measured, and heard. I seem to recall that you have problems with giant flapping woofers in you're Music Reproduction System so you may want to think about vibrations instead of just using a massive "rumble" filter to resolve, repair, and remedy you're problems!
