Default a little vibration

Guys,

I've been shooting my 82nd, proud of it and it's results but I still have a little aftershot vibration. I changed the rubber stop with a bowjax model and I have a MeanV stringsuppressor. Both are slightly touching the string.
Should I move them closer to the string or is this something that can't be solved.
This doesn't affect my shooting, I've been shooting averages of 290 vegas rounds with my hunting rig.

Frequently, string suppressors perform best when they are actually NOT touching the string. Often, I set them up about the thickness of a business card off the string. However, thats just a starting point. What you really need to do is move them in and out until you find a sweet spot. Vibration isn't necessarily bad, because almost all bows are going to have at least a little bit... but if that vibration becomes a jump, then something has come out of whack.

I made the mistake of comparing the 82nd with my tomkat, which is like comparing a V8 with a toyota Prius....
I find the supressors work best when they touch the string without any stress on the string, the 82nd is just a mean snapping machine, more energy on that string than on the tomkat. But I wouldn't go back......
thx for the advice none the less

Take the original string suppressor off and just use the MeanV.
