Vibration - What are the Main Sources?Possibly living to close to a brothel?
Vibration is not a simple topic. It is far too complex for this forum. IMOMy thinking so far:
Electrical parts (capacitors, resistors...) vibrate when electricity is applied. Vibrations are in waves. 2 near parts vibrating will have both constructive and destructive interference when the waves meet. A component (preamp, DAC...) has many vibrating parts and thus a complex chorus of vibrating patterns. Different components have different chorus of vibration patterns, thus it is highly unlikely that a universal fix exists. However, improvements can be made by influencing the chorus of vibration pattern. Use of Sorbothane deadens the sound - not all vibration deadening is sonically beneficial - only certain vibration control is beneficial. I wonder if it's possible to create shelf that one can tune the vibration to compliment (make it sound better) that of the component?
Then we have CMS CenterStage2 footers that change the chorus of vibration pattern to another pattern. I confident it works because reviews commonly report that a significant loss in audio quality but gradually gets better and within 2 weeks significantly passes the previous sonic mark- placebos don't work this way. Perhaps these footers are taking energy away from the system and thus lowering/changing the vibration pattern.
At this point further vibration understanding is beyond my feeble mind, so I'm relying on the chorus of reviews when choosing my components.
One thing I do wonder though, who makes the best audio racks - HRS or CMS? Maybe it's component dependent? Probably best to NVM.
