Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

Mechanical grounding or isolation from vibration has been a hot topic as of late.  Many know from experience that footers, stands and other vibration technologies impact things that vibrate a lot like speakers, subs or even listening rooms (my recent experience with an "Energy room").  The question is does it have merit when it comes to electronics and if so why?  Are there plausible explanations for their effect on electronics or suggested measurement paradigms to document such an effect?

Should have clarfied the above with the additional words ..will reduce the amplitude of some frequencies of any device that rests on these "isolators"or others of the same type. Tom

Uh, hopefully the amplitude of some frequencies will be reduced. That’s kind of the whole point. ALL frequencies above the Fr of the isolating system will be reduced in amplitude. One assumes you’re referring to VIBRATION frequencies not AUDIO frequencies. Note to self: Why am I getting a bad feeling?

I am not getting thru..like in your stuff all polarities of shear are being reduced and as a result information is being reduced in the device.Your methods put a full nelson choke hold on any device whether active or passive. Tom

That has to the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. Where do you come up with this stuff? I’ve asked you at least twice to explain what you mean by "polarities of shear" but so far you only repeat the same mantra over and over again. If you cannot explain it find someone who can.

Huh? Get what? You haven't said anything. Other than talk in riddles. Tom, don’t you realize if I don’t get it the chances are very good noone else will get it, either? I’m not sure that’s really the image you guys want to project. This is all getting to look suspiciously like you and your company are the Gang that Couldn’t Shoot Straight. So much of what you both say, after you strip away the ATTITUDE, is very weak technically. I was under the distinct impression that you guys had something BIG in the way of explanation or rebuttal or some such thing. One assumes that was just posturing.
