Resonance tuning as vibration control.

Within the audiophile realm, the notion of vibration isolation is ubiquitous and often misleading. However, the most notorious ignorance concerns the term vibration control for audiophile purposes. Vibration control devices and methods should be implemented as tools to manipulate resonances rather than try to treat them like an enemy. Compliant materials such as polymers/silicone can be a very valuable tool for system tuning purposes, especially when implemented with non-compliant material devices such as cones, discs, balls. IME, shifting the resonant characteristics of an audio device is the paramount objective rather than vibration deadening, or dubious vibration isolation approaches.
