Vibrating speaker cables

I tried both the rubber copper pipe insulation and the Herbies Tenderfoots and can say that at best they only very slightly reduced the vibration, and to the extent that they did they didn't audibly impact the sound. I may try something else.

When I previously inserted cable lifters there was a beneficial audible impact in both of my systems.

After reading this thread I decided to go ahead and see if the speaker cables  in my 2 systems had any vibration at/near the binding posts. In my main system I have floorstanders with single speaker binding posts. I have LessLoss Firewall for Speakers attached to those speaker binding posts and then the speaker cables attached to those. At neither point was there any vibration. In my second system I have monitors on stands, the speakers have two sets on binding posts. I noticed vibrations on both the jumpers and speaker cables. Tomorrow I am going to cut a few pieces of rubber copper tube insulation, insert them in place and listen to the same tracks with and without them in place to determine if I can hear any difference. I have some unused Herbies Tenderfoots and may try them like jriggy , but think that the rubber copper tube insulation will sit in place easier. Will post what my experience is tomorrow.

@jriggy , I used the pipe insulation closer to the sheathing of the lower cable and between the jumpers and it didn’t dampen the vibrations there. Honestly I didn’t get close enough to the binding posts and may see if I can find something to use at the posts to determine any effect
