[QUOTE="Ingvar Ahlberg, post: 840540, member: 15447"] Now lets look at the equipment between source and speakers. First we need to remember that all electronic equipment is microphonic, [u]all[/u], the higher the gain and the lower the input signal the worse this problem is. Tube gear are very microphonic with nuvistors being the most sensitive active devices. A very good routine is treating amps, preamps most important, the same way as the TT (and digital sources) and isolate from mechanical energy, a stable low resonant base will let the equipment perform at its best. Any modest vintage amp or modern very expensive, both using low level or line inputs, will perform and sound better well isolated from structural borne vibrations. This is very simple and cheap to accomplish using any kind of expanded synthetic foam as feet/isoltors, soft types for light equipment, harder types for heavy stuff. Ingvar [/QUOTE]
