Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain?

I'm not referring to damping the capacitor, I'm referring to isolating the component from structureborne vibration. So I suppose one could say your argument is a bit of a strawman, if you know what I mean.

Furthermore, most of the energy in the component is actually generated by the structureborne vibration, you know, the seismic kind, not by the component itself. Not even by airborne vibration. So I guess we'll have to agree to disagee.

emplying devices under or on top of a component, is a form of tuning, like a tone control. since no stereo system is perfect, hard or soft objects will affect the frequency response. i would conjecture that the choice to absorb or drain is subject to personal taste.

i prefer soft objects, because i find that usuually, hard materials, "harden" the sound.

Geoff your are right in this case I do disagree with you. Tom

The measurement of discombobulation when using a complex collaborator to discombobulate vibration complications is ludicrous when signalling metros anomalies.  

English!?
