Gosh, I wonder if there's any way to test this? Or can you only sense this with no science and no controls?Can vibrations really impact electronics via the generation of tiny currents? Is microphony a thing or just a phony (!)
If only there were a way to test it....Chips with quartz crystals do react to pressure or temperature, so reducing vibrations might have some merit.
A scrwed-together plywood & angle iron Eames Storage Unit can be over ten grand (vintage) or two grand (new Herman Miller). Furniture pricing is weird.
Pure theory. As you certainly know this would require a technical measurement apparatus, that had to be more sensitive than the human ear. You must be kidding!If only there were a way to test it....
Dear god...I feel like my music is vibrating as we speak. Maybe the plate tectonics? Whatever it is, it's creepy
My favorite was a plain Cherokee Sport, no Grand. It saved me from my own stupidity many times.Jeeps Rule! Sounds like you had one hell of a time with that workhorse.
Sinatra will sound better at leastThere was a series of articles in HiFi+ many years ago that reached exactly that conclusion, so maybe you weren't so wrong after all
I've been intending to buy an old drinks trolley for my equipment (want castors because the components are sat in front of a bookcase) but I worry about it sounding like all the musicians have had one Martini too many...
Old apartment building, wooden floor, street in front the house with buses and trucks passing byWhere exactly are these vibrations coming from?
What could be the cause of them?
More for the case some soldered joints might rattle loose over time or for the protection of mechanical gyroscopes, I guess. None of the mechanical stress is found in audio system unless an earthquake is happening nearby.What anti-vibration precautions are taken with critical systems such as in aircraft?
No idea, what components of an autopilot are piezoeletric? CPU, GPU, RAM or SSDs are not.What anti-vibration precautions are taken with critical systems such as in aircraft?
If a truck passing near a house can create a vibration strong enough to effect the working of a DAC to the extent that the error is audible to someone using it to listen to music, how would this effect, say, the autopilot system?
Over a flight of several thousand miles, even a tiny error in the autopilot performance would lead to the aircraft being hundreds of miles off its destination at the end of the flight.
What is done on aircraft to combat this issue, if it is an issue? And if the answer is 'nothing' then how is vibration massively affecting a DAC, but not an autopilot system?
I don't know, nor do I know if any precaution is taken in terms of vibrations. I'm hoping someone else reading this thread does!No idea, what components of an autopilot are piezoeletric? CPU, GPU, RAM or SSDs are not.
My amps are old school and are far too deep to fit in audio furniture. So I'm forced to modify/build my own. Having recently bought a new larger tv (that will not be wall-mounted) and with the intention of buying a larger center speaker, I intend to build a new entertainment rack out of 1-1/2" butcher block
In my audio system the source would be the speakers

We are manufacturers for the aviation sector ourselves and our products are used in wing tips and tail units, among other things. I know all about that. But extreme measures are taken during development to eliminate the causes, otherwise the boxes would constantly fall apart, not just the electronics.What anti-vibration precautions are taken with critical systems such as in aircraft?

Very good point.But something like that is very rare in normal houses and apartments, especially because most people are very sensitive to such things.
With the frequencies involved, you would also hear it very quickly on the drinking glasses and dishes in the kitchen cupboard.
The vibrations that can normally occur in living areas are all very low frequency, e.g. washing machines, refrigerator compressors, air conditioning systems, trucks, etc., higher frequencies are not transmitted at all.
And that's exactly what these types of coasters are not suitable for, unless the devices are extremely heavy.
You havn't stated what the floor was, very important.Very good point.
There was a video on Youtube, someone filmed a glass of water sat atop a speaker. Water did not move 'Jurassic Park style' even at high levels. I guess because it would need much lower frequency of vibration for that to happen.

In the UK I used to live in a ground floor apartment. When the street door was slammed shut in the house next door even with using a deck on a wall shelf the stylus would jump.
