I have been reading many forums both on this site as well as on other sites. I can understand that the sound of a transducer ( a turntable changes mechanical to electrical energy) could be affected by these devices. I guess I can understand how vibrations might affect a cd laser reading a cd ( though this is a stretch for me). But I have seen references to using devices under amps and preamps, and I don't understand why coupling or damping devices should affect the "sound" those devices make. Many have posted of the positive and negative affects that these devices can have on components. Any idea why they should affect things like amps or preamps, especially solid state components ? Thanks Norm
