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?

Geoff's words: Everybody’s got something to hide except me and my monkey.
Naw, I just can’t bring myself to say it… but am assuming this is where you learned about handling vibration?

I learned physics in school, Tom. I suggest you go back and complete your education.

you seem to think that a low post count implies something?

really, it implies only that people are doing other things most of the time

and I have nothing against good sound in a car, or with people doing installations

but it is obvious you don’t understand bioacoustics or electronics, so your attacks on others are really ill-taken

my answer to the person above asking why you do that is that is likely a form of psychological compensation

Whoa! What’s up with all the psychological mumbo jumbo, Scooter. Save the drama for yo mama.




Lot of factors that predict the speed and direction of shear waves and how they travel. Not spelled out in your over the counter cook books.Tom

Once you get on board the whole six directions of motion train for seismic vibration you will begin to appreciate that there is actually no need to predict speed, direction or amplitude of shear waves or any other type of waves. I suspect you're simply posturing and trying to suggest you actually know something about waves or seismic vibration by harping on "shear waves." The sooner you guys get off your high horse and realize that yours is not the only game in town nor is it complete the better off you will be in the long run. The only way you can possibly deal wih seismic waves is to decouple the component from them, and I'm referring to rotational (bending) forces in additional to the usual vertical forces and forces in the horizontal plane. 

Have a nice day

Seismic waves are just backround noise no different than traveling in a car at high speed or flying in a jet its all relative.Human nature has adjusted.  The methods you use actually generate more inertia for a speaker voice coil to overcome. Resulting in a loss of information. We will respond in long and detailed order soon.. Tom. Star Sound Technologies. I am having a beautiful day at the ocean. Thanks . Tom Star Sound Technologies
