Picture a sumo wrestler on a trampoline. Now picture the vibration modes of a heavy power transformer mounted on a chassis bottom plate that is supported only at the corners and edges.The resonant frequency of such a device will be in the mid-bass or lower, and stiffening by placing the bottom plate directly into contact with a thick cutting board will improve the bass clarity. I use sheets of Deflex rubber between the component and cutting board, to prevent chatter and to dampen the remaining vibrations. Deflex rubber sheets are available from partsconneXion.
