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?

Agear, they are not even theories, they are hypotheses. In other words, a guess. The reason you never see any supporting evidence or documentation for his products is because there is none. No scientist has bought any of them and said "Wow, this is going to change the world!" or "This thing really works." I am not talking six moons or any end users. I mean real scientists that can peer review something like this. That would be how real scientific discoveries are validated. Geoff would never allow that to happen because the fraud would be exposed.

Whoa! What? That’s got to be the dumbest thing I heard all day. Somebody was sleeping the day they taught that an hypothesis IS a theory.  Duh! I propose the Laughing Goat award go to camgolf.

another tidbit showing ignorance - a scientific hypothesis is completely different from a theory

really, at least use wikipedia before posting

Is it true that when you lie your pants really are on fire?

Mr. Kait states: - 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.  

Your springs are actually functioning as a “direct coupling mechanism”. Depending on the actual materials and dimensions of springs used, the speed of the resonance transfer will vary as will the bandwidth of frequencies across the audible and inaudible spectrum, yielding different sonic results in comparison. Frequency and Speed with springs is complexly related to the mass and mass distribution of the component. We too have used springs in our studies and development processes and have found that there are too many variables in each possible usage scenario; there is no “one-size fits all” with spring coupling. Ultimately, you are ‘NOT Decoupling’ with the use of metallic springs - try another material.

You have yet to respond, answer or clarify or prove to us; how inaudible seismic waves affect the performance of a stereo system in either a standard or more efficient listening environment, nor have you provided any indication as to how such waves have such a dramatic effect on the "audible performance" and/or musical quality of playback equipment when mechanically grounded.

Do inaudible seismic waves affect the performance of musical instruments in some “audible” way that the world is not aware of?

Mr. Kait stated: Sorry, but once I see, "I have 30 years in audio or I have been doing this for 40 years, therefore..." I don’t read whatever comes next. Force of habit. Lol

Then why not leave the “majority” of audio veterans alone and exploit your visions elsewhere? Like Coulomb Friction, you clog up all signal pathways and “therefore”, in my opinion you should mechanically transfer out!

he won't respond coherently, answer or clarify or prove because he can't

he WILL likely make some comment like the above ones, indicating a middle school student is posting
