Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

That differs from what I just read in an online engineering journal saying a spring does have a natural resonant frequency. Everything has a natural resonance. Tom

As as I already said you cannot take the spring in isolation, as it were, it is the mass on spring together, forming a system, that is what matters. Therefore, it’s the resonant frequency of the isolation SYSTEM that determines its isolation effectiveness, not the natural frequency of the spring. And the natural frequency of the system is a function of both the spring rate of the springs and the total mass on the springs. You are one mixed up cowboy.

But Geoff you said and the engineering manual confirmed springs do have a natural resonant frequency. Just wanted to confirm your statement as written in the journal. And you cowboy speak with a forked tongue. Tom

Tom, I said the springs have a spring rate. You said they have a natural frequency. The natural frequency of the spring is irrelevant. Besides, the spring itself is not really free to resonate, it's under compression.

Is the phase lag of the system also irrelevant as when the force is applied or removed and the system responds in kind? Tom
