No Nail Polish fumes here...

Read my post again carefully. I did not make a categorical statement
that all solid-state gear/devices are 100 free of microphonics, I
simply expressed grave reservations as to whether units such as
the mentioned Channel Island units were microphonic enough to believe
that esoteric mounting appliances could offer any hope of sonic
improvement beyond placebo and wish fantasy. I think there is reason-
able ground to suspect that such "problems/solutions" may be totally
non-existant in this instance outside of the wishes of the human
mind.

As for nail polish on parts..... I'm sorry, I don't buy it for a
minute unless the temperature drop from the evaporation of the
solvent temporarily cools the device enough to shift it's operating
points slightly for a few moments and thereby the sonics. Frankly,
I think even this is a stretch.

I think most people are much more open to various forms of suggestion
and perceptual modification than is generally assumed outside of
academic psychology circles. It is a "sticky" subject, I know.
