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?

These people that keep engaging me? Are you looking in the mirror?

Juicy.

I'm intrigued.  ;-)





The fact that the the isolators damp the cabinet from above also means they damp the the voice coils.. Think what that means in terms of energy projected or energy lost. Tom

I attended the same backwater institution you apparently did Dilbert. You can verify the two degrees I received there by calling the registrar if you like.

I believe you. What were your degrees, Remedial English and Science for Beginners?

Maybe your powers of memory are failing you, but you have used that same tired Einstein quote on innumerable threads. Time for some new material. As for education, it only begins at the feet of Chopra and Sheldrake as they beckon us into the seething cauldron of morphic resonance flowing outwards from some epicenter of cosmic circle jerking.

There it is! English Major! If I can make an observation: it's not really that unusual for audiophiles to make fun of things that are new to them or things they do not or cannot understand. ;-)

Not sure what you mean. In the ordinary meaning of the word, isolation is not interchangeable with the word damping. And when you say the Isolators damp the cabinet from above I’m afraid you lost me. The only speaker Isolators I’m aware of are used below the speakers. What are you referring to? Help!

cheers

These products damp all motion..they damp the cabinet motion and they also damp the motion of the voice coil which is attached to the spider and cone and basket which is attached to the baffle. Tom
