noise thru tube pre??


Is it normal that if I tap on the pre chassis that I can here it slightly in the speakers (like a record player picks up taps and such) just curious Chad

Does it strike anyone else as odd that we (Audiophiles) expend great effort in selecting isolation equipment (brass cones vs aluminum cones, tennis balls vs. ball bearings, etc) to isolate a component such as a solid state amp or preamp, or CD player (or even a cable) which you can tap on as hard as you want without ever getting the slightest piff of sound through the speakers, but are willing to sit a pair of monoblocks with exposed tubes, which are commonly microphonic, right next to the speakers?
