There is something that has been bothering me lately. Whenever I look at hi-fi magazines I always see solid-state electronics with vibration isolation devices underneath them.
Why on earth would you need vibration isolation for solid state? This makes sense for tube electronics, as tubes are subject to microphonics, and as such are actually affected by vibration. Solid-state electronics are not (with the exception of some types of capacitors, and then only slightly) microphonic at all.
Am I the only person who thinks that vibration isolation devices for solid-state electronics is utter crap? Can anyone conclusively prove that vibration isolation devices do anything worth while at all?
