Actually I don't agree. When people suggest that they hear an effect they are not asking others to accept it based purely on their say so. They are reporting the effect and suggesting that others try the experiment to see if they can repeat the result. I get the impression that there is an unwillingness to try out these tweaks because of a belief that -it can't work- because there is no good physical explanation. Using your example of vibration isolators under the SB3, I'm asking that you please test it. I only get frustrated when people say it can't make a difference and aren't even willing to try. If you need a plausible explanation of why it might make a difference then I suggest you look into known effects in electronic components. Capacitors can be microphonic. The silicon used to make all transistors and integrated circuits is piezoresistive (resistance changes with mechanical stress). So there are reasons to think that vibrations could affect sound. I'm not saying these are the reasons one hears a difference - just that one can offer up theories if one wants. But I'm not sure we have the tools to prove or disprove these theories so why bother? Just give a listen. ---Gary -- GaryB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GaryB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32352 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
