Let's just assume, for a minute, that oscillator crystals are indeed quite microphonic. Of course, their long term accuracy would not be affected as any microphony would just create ripples in the output frequency -not affect the total number of osciallations per time unit. However, the derived clock from such a crystal would carry a direct imprint of the vibrations causing the microphony, in the form of time modulation (jitter). I don't find this explanation in the least bit implausible. BTW, please let knowledgable DIY'ers that show up here have SOME freedom to share their knowledge and speculate, and EVEN air some subjective points of view! I for one would like to be able to discuss modifications etc with people like Gary (who knows the SBs in and out, I believe). The "it must be ABX:ed" standard response will only drive everyone away from here.
