vibration control

Here is something that I have wondered about. I have not opened up a lot of high end speaker cabinets, but the few that I have peered into all have crossover electronics boards sitting unprotected inside the speaker box. It would seem to me that the inside of a speaker box is the hottest environment wrt vibration in the entire stereo system. I wonder how much could be gained by isolating the crossover boards or even how to do it in such cramped quarters.

"...all have crossover electronics boards sitting unprotected inside the speaker box."

Hence the eyebrow-raising whenever the whole cable or passive component vibration topic comes up. Oh, and lets not overlook the sheer number of "active" speakers with, dare I gest, "gain stages"!!! Why these speakers just don't go into a self-destructive oscillation feedback runaway is mind boggling. [joking]

Vibration is the main reason why time travel is impossible at the moment.

We are waiting for someone to invent a decent method of vibration control or isolation before we can go any further. Very frustrating as we are so close to perfecting the technology. We did try a decent power chord & that helped.

You'll experiemce time travel when you buy the better power cord, attach it to a better power amp, which is connected by better wires to a better speaker in a system that has been optimized with dedicated lines, power conditioning, room treatment and vibration control.

You'll be transported back to a smokey little jazz venue, circa 1960. Maybe I'll see you there?
