This is why people spend thousands on good stands and spikes.
To prevent our well educated visitors from wise comments, and to give an example, I'm pasting an abstract from '\"Electrical noise generated from the microphonic effect in capacitors\"' (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=1032708) (ieee.org). "... Some capacitors also exhibit an electrical response when stressed physically. This response can be significant. This response is called the "microphonic effect" because the frequency of the response is often in the audible range ... Considerable variation is observed-depending on capacitor type, capacitor size, and physical location." The problem with dumping is that you can "overdump" a component or your room. In this case the sound will be dull, lifeless and "closed". -- alekz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alekz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42094 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
