I recently scrapped some old reel to reel tape recorders for parts and found some of the tube sockets were mounted suspended in a floating (vibration resistant?) setup.

Wondering why this was done and does it make sense in the tube amps us geeks are putting together today ?

A 300B power tube in a floating socket ?


What do you think?
