Putting your buffer on a stand is not gonna stop tube vibration. As the first poster responded: use tube damper rings or such on the tubes themselves to stop feedback in tubes. Any high quality "O" rings for high temps will work. You do not need special audiophile rings, just ones that will not melt onto the tubes!
Tube Buffer Vibration Isolation
Well, I picked up a Grant Fidelity 283 MkII tube buffer that is running between my DAC and AMP. I really do love the warmth and dynamics it brings to my system. My question is: Do I need to add isolation like vibrapods, and/or a wood plaform that is also isolated?
I don't use any on my SS gear, as I'm not yet convinced it matters...but on a tube, I can absolutely see how the vibration could effect the system. Looking for some input on what would be a good solution for isolation on the buffer. BTW, I do woodworking, so it would be easy to make an isolation platform, etc.
As always, any advice is much appreciated.
