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?

"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?

At what refractive angle Geoff are your cuts? Tom

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.  ;)....

I thought you knew that the refractive polarity angle steered away from the component was determined by the shear velocity of the material. Tom

There you go with those big words, again. But I’m afraid this is simply another case of your making a wrong assumption. As fate would have it I was not using diamonds under a component. One imagine when the points of cones like audio points are pointed up the seismic shear forces are directed into the component more easily, eh?
