Some of us believe in it, others do not. I happen to believe in vibration control because I have heard the results - improvements brought on.

The question is, if they do they affect sound, is it enough that the human ear can hear them? |

Originally Posted by Nirmalanow /img/forum/go_quote.gif Just briefly, if you don't mind sharing, what improvements have you heard using vibration control on your headphone system, and what methods of vibration control have you used in your headphone system? (I checked your profile and it does not list your vibration control devices.) Thanks! |
