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?

Morphic resonance should be detectable in the realms of physics, chemistry, biology, animal behaviour, psychology and the social sciences. Long-established systems, such as zinc atoms, quartz crystals, insulin molecules and muscle cells are governed by strong Morphic fields, with deep grooves of habit established over millions of years, and consequently little change can be observed over a few weeks, or even years, of research. They behave as if they are governed by fixed laws.

Okay, but one obvious source of argument is whether they are the manifestation of fixed "laws" at work (or design if you will) versus a habitual, evolutionary process.  That aside, how about dialing morphic resonance into audio?  Management of vibrational energy in an audio system.  One of my current areas of research interest lies in nanotechnology.  Small scale design (imperceptible to the naked eye) influences function.  By corollary, material science (the subtext of this thread) plays a role in terms of the influence of vibration and performance, etc.

Fascinating stuff . What's it doing in a audio forum ?

I’m not sure we’re on the same page yet. The argument is as you say, whether these habits of nature are evolutionary or embedded in genes or are they something else, something outside of the genes and evolution? Of course as things evolve so does the Morphic field, so it’s more complex. I supposedly we are taught that certain behaviors are passed genetically or evolve but I kind of doubt that there is much more than a passing handwaving involved with any actual education involved. Yet most of us grow up kind of believing that. ASSUMING that. ASSUMING fir example that information is stored in cells somewhere in the brain. Things of that nature. Then there’s the little problem that inanimate objects also obey the rules, for lack of a better word, of Morphic resonance. It’s not just animals and plants. But I digress. Now, getting from how the whole Morphic resonance thing works in nature to how it applies to audio is going to take some time. LOL

I also am interested in nanotechnology; would you believe I have at least one product that is Nanotechology based, probably more if I stopped to think about it. The Super Intelligent Chip for sure. Probably Dark Matter. But I digress. The reason I introduced y’all to Morphic resonance is to show that there is a connection to audio. That connection has been around a very long time, longer than most of you ladies have been in the hobby I’d opine. Things have been evolving in audio, too. I personally have at least five products based on Morphic resonance and many of those products have been around quite some time, but who’s counting. Hey, am I having deja vu? Didn’t I already say that? Duh!

Fishing for explanations as to why electronics are effected by stands.  I know they are, but the why is intriguing.  I know things have meandered but its still information.  Audio like science meanders and yet evolves.  

The amusing thing is most philes seem to think mechanical grounding grounding is bs.  A lot of reviewers seem to as well.  Look at any older vintage review and you would often see a 30k amp sitting on a dinning room chair.  Makes you wince....

You wrote" i listen to mostly modded sony walkman " is that incorrect?

Old dude, would I kid you?

btw, what I wrote was actually,

"I listen mostly to a modded Portable Sony Walkman with vintage Sony Ultralight headphones."
