The weight of the cables restricts the free motion of the device on the tube. I saw a picture of a system in the gallery where the wires were suspended by strings hung from little wooden T-shaped holders. The owners purpose was to keep to wires separated. I suppose you could rig up some kind of suspension for the cables. The wires could actually be thought of as a damper to excessive motion by the air bladder.
I think we're entering the area of diminishing returns for the effort.
This is a tricky area, the balance between considerations about damping down vs isolating from vibrations. I also think that the isolation is more important for players like turntables and CD spinners than it is for solid state electronics. Now don't anyone jump on me for heresy. I didn't say that solid state devices are uninfluenced by mechanical motion just much less so than players. Players may need more isolation and SS may need more damping relative to one another. Everything is in motion: floors, walls, ceilings, windows, and the air that sound is transmitted through. I suppose with sensitive enough devices these residual hums could be isolated. Each listening space will have its own signature. It may be that to try to decouple the stereo system from this basic signature may result in more disharmony than simply allowing the reproduction system to remain in synch with the listening space. Don't mean to set off a firestorm of nitpicking.
At some point we're much better off just going out and listening to live music. (But that's not the point is it.)
Enjoy the music.
I'm a painter. I have a switch on the side of my head that I turn off when I'm looking at art for pleasure. If I leave that switch on then all I do is analyze: is that edge too sharp, should the distance be more blue, would I have used cad red or alizarin crimson, like that.
I could tweak one of my own paintings to death if I left that switch on all the time.
Enjoy the music!
