Vibration Control


Why do solid state audio electronics with no moving parts need or benefit from vibration control? 
 

It makes perfect sense that turntables, CD transports, R2R tape decks, loudspeakers & tubed electronics (w/ potentially micro phonic tubes) might all benefit from various methods of vibration control or mitigation but I don’t see why anything else would. Any thoughts??

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,
Nonoise

I’m not sure I follow all of that but so far, no one has explained how physical vibrational energy gets transformed into electrical energy in a solid state device w/ no moving parts. 

 

Both vibrational energies share the same space. It is called electro-mechanical vibration. Electricity is the electro and the mechanical is created by transformers and capacitors vibrating, sound pressure levels, environmental noise, chassis vibrating, the listening suite, etc.

Parts in a solid-state design are moving. Unfortunately, we cannot detect microns of movement with our eyes.

Glennewdick, good post.

I am not a theoretical physicist. One would require their opinions in abundance to answer your request for an explanation. Then you would need the knowledge to understand how they arrived at those outcomes. 

Proving that resonance energy transfer increases performance is highly audible. All equipment builds resonance. Evacuating the resonance is the key to listening to more quality already built into all your equipment. The results are extremely audible.
