Vibration - What are the Main Sources?


A current thread discussing the best tweaks gave consistently high ranking for component isolation. I am curious to know where all the vibration is coming from that we are addressing with isolation. I understand that high volume listening can create significant vibration, but for the sake of this discussion let's assume we are listening at moderate levels. Can the vibrations from moderate sound levels affect the quality of sound? Are there other common significant sources of vibration that we are guarding against that can dramatically affect sound?

Would you like to see the letter from the Washington State Health Department dismissing the fraudulent complaints against my license by haters on this website? Would you like to see the letter signed by mijostyn, thecarpathian, edgewound, mapman, nonoise and jetter? The threatening one I received just before the Health Dept notice? If you think it is tiresome reading my digs maybe imagine if half a dozen nut jobs were obsessed with and messing with you to this extent. One of them brags about how he will keep coming back again and again, different user name, different IP address. Sound familiar?
I knew it. He's completely lost his mind, or was long gone all along. If MC has been posting BS, junk science, and misinformation about Covid on other public sites, someone took notice and may have reported him. It could have very well been a co-worker or acquaintance who knows he works in a hospital, which would make even more sense.

MC is not shy about touting how he's a medical professional and knows things and has seen things in hospitals that are false. This tactic has been trending on the right wing sites for some time: to write, post,  or call into talk shows and start spouting off the exact same nonsense. It's part of their script and people have been getting busted over it.

But to come out on this site and accuse others here who politically disagree with him for some sympathy and to raise the ire and hate of others who think like him is down there with the lowest of the lows.

It's one thing to constantly lose arguments on stupid political beliefs but to get some kind of payback by defaming members here is just sick and pathetic.

Given speakers are a source of vibration, what do folks think they are isolating their speakers from when they try and isolate their them? The other speaker?

Speakers sound best when they are firmly grounded to a solid base i.e. not isolated from their base. Best to spend the effort and $$ isolating other components from the speakers and the vibrations caused by the speakers. 

Transformers vibrate, so it's a good idea to isolate individual components from one another. Stacking components normally produces undesirable results.
It's not going to work, MC. I've already chewed out Admin about your defamation and removing my post which succinctly addressed your false claims. It must really hurt to know that someone close to you turned you in and now you've decided to defame your betters, here.

What a piece of work you are. You dug your own hole. Live in it.

All the best,

Go look at all the removed posts.
Like the ones that I wrote in response to your defamation, that you conveniently had removed? Do you think that puts you in a better light?
You do realize that it's been read by many before you had it deleted.

All the best,

Timely subject!

Getting close to final set up of my TT.

Just made a base - 3/4" mdf "box" filled with sand.

The TT weighs just shy of 60lbs, the base is approx 25lbs

My thinking is this. The vibrations present in the component needs to go somewhere. The vibrations in the environment need to be prevented from getting to the component.

The component should be coupled to something the vibrations can dissipate to. The whole thing should be decoupled from the "world"

So I’m looking to put roller blocks between the TT and the base. It will both couple the TT as well as allow for horizontal movement.

Then, I’m thinking either ISOAcoustics pads under the whole thing, or, springs. So many sources for springs around that can serve virtually any purpose, and are inexpensive. Just need to find springs that are the right diameter (so they are stable), the right height (again, so they are stable) and the right spring rate so the whole unit floats. Meaning, the same force is required to "lift" it as is required to "push" it a given distance.

Seems pretty straight forward...

If floating in zero gravity, and kicking your feet about (not touching anything) vibrations in your body are going to be minimal, all the forces are contained within you. Now, back on terra firma, and you kick the ground, the forces come back into your body. Very disruptive...
