Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

I'd use laser interferometry or at least a vibrometer to assess the actual movement of the stands and at high volume on a variety of music and frequencies.

THEN, I'd use a driver to force the particular electronic components at those vibrations in the x,y, and z planes at greater amplitudes than found while listening to be sure.

you turn, geoff

That’s nice but the OP is asking how you would measure the audio performance. Anyone can measure the relative motion. All you need to do that is a glass of water.

Then Randy-11 wrote, in his best fifth grade grammar,

"you turn, geoff"

I’ve already described why I think it’s fruitless to pursue the whole measurement thing for iso devices. Were you sleeping?

Quick interrupt! I just located one of the more outrageous accusations that your humble scribe has run across lo these many years. This one is actually better, and funnier, in my opinion, than the relatively mundane accusations Randy-11 posted the other day.

from somewhere in cyberspace,

"The creator of "tweaks" such as the "Teleportation Tweak" tells a critic to kill himself on on the ___________ forum. Other users accuse the critic of being brainwashed by soviets and site admins don’t seem to mind."

cheers

trollkaitt - you would not be able to understand what I do, but be assured that before giving any students a PhD, they need a lot better than 5th grade grammar

if sound quality (high fidelity) is the goal, you definitely need some measurements on audio performance (and your "thoughts" are inconsequential as they are grounded in ignorance)

and you need a lot more than a glass of water

B&W uses laser interferometry BTW and has done so for many years

but I did not expect you to understand what I was talking about; my response is for others to read

That's weird. I kind of assumed you were a javelin catcher for some second rate high school track team.
