In Reply to: Insulating AC Outlets from Wall Vibration posted by Dryginger2 on November 10, 2014 at 15:39:04:
Sure the walls are vibrating, but so is everything else in the room, including your speakers and components.
It's a given cables themselves vibrate when current is passing through them as would the AC outlet, the power cables, etc.
Moreover, you use the word insulate when you should be using the word isolate.
So you install this material against the outlet box. The box is mounted to the studs using nails or screws which act as mechanical energy conductors so the vibrations are still entering the box and since the outlet is screwed into the box, the outlet is still receiving vibrations.
So you still probably have the same volume of vibrations entering the box and receptacles via the wall studs and screws/nails and also by the Romex wiring.
I would not even consider this a good start but rather a misunderstanding.
And if you think your performance is affected by vibrations at the smallish wall outlets, what do you think could possibly be going on inside your sensitive component chassis'?
What are you really trying to accomplish here?
