Vibration


Ever hear of putting front end gear on separate isolation platforms
On the floor instead of a rack?

Mass-on-spring vibration isolation systems. There's really no substitute.
Most of those "stands" are more or less a piece of furniture with nearly no effect at the end of day. Here is a done right solution: Vibraplane
the best way to improve vibration isolation is to tack circuit components and if the unit is old re-tack output transistors(for example) to the heat sinks. reapplying fresh solder also improves vibration isolation. purchasing stands for electronic equipment should have approximately the same vibration isolation effect as purchasing cable elevators.

What vibration or mechanical energy are you trying to isolate with a amp stand? Are they just for tube amps to reduce harmonics?
They do look cool sometimes."

So you are trying to isolate the amp. What happens if some vibration reaches the amp? It effects what? The sound?
I know turntables are microphonic, some tube pre/amps also. I have never known a solid state amp that was microphonic.
You have shown me the light before, I just can't wrap my head around this one.
