Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

"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."

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!

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

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."

it was pseudo-scientific gibberish then, and has not improved with age

Sheldrake's morphic resonance hypothesis posits that "memory is inherent in nature"[3][7] and that "natural systems, such as termite colonies, or pigeons, or orchid plants, or insulin molecules, inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind".[7] Sheldrake proposes that it is also responsible for "telepathy-type interconnections between organisms".[8] His advocacy of the idea encompasses paranormal subjects such as precognition, telepathy and the psychic staring effect[9][10] as well as unconventional explanations of standard subjects in biology such as development, inheritance, and memory.[11]

Morphic resonance is not accepted by the scientific community as a real phenomenon and Sheldrake's proposals relating to it have been characterized as pseudoscience. Critics cite a lack of evidence for morphic resonance and an inconsistency between the idea and data from genetics and embryology. They also express concern that popular attention paid to Sheldrake's books and public appearances undermines the public's understanding of science.[a]

Despite the negative reception Sheldrake's ideas have received from the scientific community, they have found support in the New Age movement,[25] such as from Deepak Chopra.[26][27]

That's pretty amusing stuff.  If Deepak signs off on it, we are good to go.  

My Pop was a Biochemistry professor with a PhD from Oxford.  I am sure he is familiar with Sheldrake and his woo woo babblings.  He has generated no data, no NIH grants or body of research to support this.  He is an apologist for pantheistic woo woo plain and simple.  

Geoff, did these things come to you in an epiphany or did you do the subconscious copy and paste from chaps like Sheldrake?
