Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

The fact that the the isolators damp the cabinet from above also means they damp the the voice coils.. Think what that means in terms of energy projected or energy lost. Tom

Not sure what you mean. In the ordinary meaning of the word, isolation is not interchangeable with the word damping. And when you say the Isolators damp the cabinet from above I’m afraid you lost me. The only speaker Isolators I’m aware of are used below the speakers. What are you referring to? Help!

cheers

These products damp all motion..they damp the cabinet motion and they also damp the motion of the voice coil which is attached to the spider and cone and basket which is attached to the baffle. Tom

Max Townshend uses an oscilloscope to display the effectiveness of his Seismic Isolators in a video viewable on You Tube. He gives a rap to the side of a speaker enclosure spiked to a concrete floor, then again with the speaker on his Isolators, the vibrations/resonance of the enclosure visible on the scope in both instances. The Seismic Isolators apparently not only prevent floor vibrations from entering a speaker enclosure, but also provide either damping of that enclosure or a pathway for the evacuation of vibration. I need to watch it again, as can you. Max also does a demonstration on a table top, displaying other capabilities of his Isolators. Good stuff, but not cheap!

A deconstruction of Townsend (and by association Kait) from an actual Seismologist is pending.  Should be a fun read.  It will add actual meaningful data to the thread.

Geoff,
I honestly can't get a hold on whether you are a mad genius scientist or a total loon.
But what I do know is that you are a MASTER troll. And I love that!
The fact that these other people keep engaging with you is total entertainment.

That's part of the idea.  I engage him for entertainment value alone.  Nothing he says riles me in the slightest.  I enjoy Mr. Kait thoroughly....

There it is! English Major! If I can make an observation: it's not really that unusual for audiophiles to make fun of things that are new to them or things they do not or cannot understand. ;-)

Nope.  You assume English major since my command of the language is superior to the introductory level English you learned during your first year of E-school.  That is not saying much.  I spent 9 years there with a emphasis on "biological sciences" if that helps.

As for lampooning things I don't understand, PhD level scientists in the same disciplines as Sheldrake call him a pseudoscientist.  Being a pseudoscientist and apologist for New Age woo woo is a lot easier than being an actual scientist.  There is no data.  Just rhetoric.
