Electricity establishes vibration on all circuits, capacitors, transformers, transistors, resistors, and parts. You cannot stop vibrations from taking place if using electricity or man-made power sources.
Sound is Vibration. You will never destroy, isolate, decouple, or terminate vibrations, particularly in a vibrating musical environment. Once you get past that reality, the fears of vibration become less of a concern as the initial vibrations provide the dynamics and harmonic layers we seek as listeners.
In audio, vibration has become more of a fear than understanding. You are in a musical environment where sound is present. The speakers vibrate, electronics, equipment racking, structural angles and surfaces, and everything else, including the room develop resonance caused by vibrations.
Resonance clogs all signal pathways such as electrical, electro-mechanical, and acoustic. Mechanical grounding establishes a path for resonance to evacuate the equipment in real time to Earth’s ground. Equipment Operational Efficiency is the result. Effortless operation, volume increases, and increased musical qualities are easily heard when operational efficiency is presented.
Having an independent third party do thermal imaging testing is one way to prove this hypothesis yields scientific merits. Solid-state, valves, or hybrids display a difference in operation via temperature reduction. The tests will be published when finally completed supported by written opinions from leading engineers. The costs incurred for testing of this type are quite high.
Financial outlay is one of the primary reasons the Audio Industry does not provide independent testing. It is easier to advertise, tell a story, or mimic your own versus investing in third-party physical tests based on physics.
Electricity establishes vibrations. Vibrations create resonance. Resonance build-up negatively affects ‘all’ equipment performance.
