Vibration Control

The sound coming out of your loudspeaker is probably the largest source of vibration in your listening room.  So why have all those sensitive electronics in the same room as the vibration source?  And I know that there are some exceptions, but nearly all loudspeakers have their crossover electronics within their enclosures.  There are efforts in some designs for vibration control, but isn't the interior of a loudspeaker cabinet a highly vibrant environment?

The consensus of this thread is that vibration is a horrible thing that must be combated, but a look at the system pages indicates that it is not really addressed.

In my own system I use Solid Steel and Quadrispire racks with some additional rubber and cork mats under the electronics. The electronics are in the same room as the loudspeakers.  The transducers get a more elaborate setup.  Nothing really expensive, but I figure it can't hurt.

If you listened to a CD on your player and then placed that same player on a LiveVibe platform you will hear a big improvement in all areas of SQ.Playing thru headphones no speakers..TomD

Glenn thus far is thee only one who has provided anything close to an actual explanation on the matter although I still have real doubts that in practice in this case, it actually has an effect. Of course what was described is exactly how phono cartridges , microphones & speakers work. Thank you and this forum for that.

Btw, Nonoise, this question was simply an intellectual curiosity & not a fear of a nervous breakdown. After 44 years of marriage, 3 kids, 2 grandkids & a few thousand employees from multiple businesses over that time, & several higher end sound systems of the time period,  I think if I were prone to such an issue, it would have already occurred…….
 

@jonwolfpell My reply was a bit out of frustration as any and all responses you gave were just versions of your opening statement, making me wonder if you were a fan of Amir.

All the best,
