Here's a question: while it is very true that vibration induced effects have an adverse effect on loudspeakers has anyone proved that vibration induced effects can even be heard, much less have an adverse effect, on equipment like amplifiers and preamplifiers. Perhaps this chase to eliminate all micro-vibrations is similar to the jitter reduction chase. So for example one could run a DBT using two identical power amps where one is sitting in its heavy duty aircraft quality case and the other is just a bare bones chassis. And one could also do all kinds of measurements on each amp. I bet the results would be very interesting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
