Which is why I like the 2008 version with the heatsink.
The PCB is in contact along the groove with the chassis wehre it is slid in so damping the chassis looks to be the trick. You can get vinyl damping pads or that 3M damping stuff and place it on the bottom of the chassis. I used heatsinks on the top which also damp the chassis via the thermal tape. Also some nice new rubbery feet from EAR damped damped the shassis as well.

Vibration from the trans can still transfer from the connections going to the board. Also I've been doing a lot of research on the cap replacement. As you all know SMT caps, if they're very good, will yield better results than through hole organic types in this application. Maybe its better and more elegant to find hi-end SMT caps as a replacement for what's there. |
