Why do Nasa & other private companys, that launch satelites & probes that remain functioning in orbit for > 20 yrs., avoid issues, or is this strictly an audiophile phenomena?

Maybe because they've always mounted their electronics with some kind of isolation/suspension system, maybe even similar to Solid Tech's Discs of Silence?

I can understand the effect of vibrations on a scanning/rotating media and the requirement for isolation under these conditions. But I am very sceptical on vibration issues related to solid state amplifiers for home audio systems. I used to work on avionics (electronic) systems from high performance aircraft to helicopters (want to talk about vibration, lets talk helicopters ). Some of the avionics equipment did utilize isolation pads while other equipment did not.

Be well?

I never meant to imply that NASA was glitch free. Aborted missions & other disasters  more than attest to that. The point that I was making was that too much is made of vibrations. The chopper example certainly attests to that. The point that I was trying to make is that a good deal of audio lore is based on solutions to nonexistant audible issues. Were we talking about tube amps, I'm willing to concede that microphonics & airborne vibrations could cause an issue. One of the factors that ought be figured into the design & subsequent pricing of SS amps is resistance to cat feet & other miniscule vibrations.

I see you guys are having fun ?.
End result Disk 1 still does not want to play.

After using Spic and span ? Windex.. Fantastic.
The only Cleaner that I did not use was Spray Nine.

She still does not want to play in BCD-1
But she still Plays in the Nad.

So whats Next ?????

Believe it or not, the RD-3 demag. works like magic. I use it on all my CDs and cables. Yeah, yeah, ya... I know it sound like hocus pocus but it definately works. Sound stage opens up, brings back the details, bass tighten ups just to name a few.

What about a blacker background?

I have not herd that one in a long Time

Maybe someone has experience with cryoed hocus pocus?
