Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

"The Selmer MK VI sax has been a long time favorite of mine in studios and on stage but in my opinion, we should ask a few professional horn players which is the preferred material for sonic instead of accepting the opinion of one who holds a degree in aerospace."

Well, in my defense I have been experimenting with materials of all kinds for more than 20 years for audio applications, especially in connection with my sub Hertz iso platform where you can really hear the differences among various materials, both for mounting the platform itself and for mounting the component on the to shelf. That’s why I think I can say with some authority brass is not as good sounding as some other materials, for example NASA grade diamond hardness ceramics, with hardness just below diamond on the Moh hardness scale. I have also used real diamonds in one of my products (crystals) and simply as an experiment, you know, to appreciate their super high rate of energy transfer. BTW one thing you might not know about aerospace engineers is they are taught strength of materials, indeterminant structures and statistical thermodynamics.

At what refractive angle Geoff are your cuts? Tom

"This is where we differ. You cannot prevent resonance from entering a component. You cannot prevent resonance from forming on circuits, resistors, caps, etc within the component - it is already there when you turn the electricity on or volume up.

You cannot prevent vibration in music - music is vibration.

How does one treat resonance?

Historical data teaches us vibration is bad and to kill vibration via isolation, diffusion and absorption processes and materials (heavy damping). Along with killing the vibration you also kill the dynamics and harmonic structures and more importantly you kill the elusive and fragile “live dynamic” (the ultimate goal). Physics - kill something and it is dead, not to return to life; yet isn’t our primary goal to seek the live performance?"

Yup, all of which is taken directly from the Michael Green Book, "Vibrations get a Bad Rap, Let Them Roam Free."

Since when did you come up with the weird idea that vibrations can’t be prevented from entering the component? When you and Michael smoke um peace pipe?

not that there's anything wrong with using big words but why would you assume they were cut at all?

cheers

For those interested I have quite a few technical papers on my web site.

See this page for the links to technical papers, including vibration isolation, the Clever Little Clock and even the Teleportation Tweak,

I presume you are using the word "technical" loosely here.  In regards to the Teleportation Tweak you state:

4. What does the Teleportation Tweak sound like? By attenuating the deleterious effects of the particular Information Field associated with the cell phone or land line phone the sound in the room becomes much closer to the sound that you would hear in an ideal world, I.e., a world without such subconscious interference that reduces the listener's sensory perception. After the Teleportation Tweak is performed the listener can more easily hear the complete and undistorted sound that his system is FULLY CAPABLE OF PRODUCING, that the system was producing BEFORE the TT. In other words, the SOUND WAS IN THE ROOM THE WHOLE TIME, he just couldn't fully appreciate the sound quality since his hearing ability had always been in a degraded state and not up to the level he always assumed it was.

So maybe Michael and Bobby shared a few peace pipes.  It appears as if you were an early disciple and test subject of Timothy Leary based on your somewhat schizoid mentation.  Maybe I am dim, but I do not understand the paragraph referenced above.  Time to call in the experts for an explanation.  ;)....
