Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

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. ;-)

Nope.  You assume English major since my command of the language is superior to the introductory level English you learned during your first year of E-school.  That is not saying much.  I spent 9 years there with a emphasis on "biological sciences" if that helps.

As for lampooning things I don't understand, PhD level scientists in the same disciplines as Sheldrake call him a pseudoscientist.  Being a pseudoscientist and apologist for New Age woo woo is a lot easier than being an actual scientist.  There is no data.  Just rhetoric.      

BTW, got a notification that Andrew replied here. Unfortunately, it seems to have been removed before I could actually see it.
Too bad. I've noticed a distinct pattern with that guy and I think he's not being totally upfront with exactly who he is. I think a little disclosure is in order. Oh well.

Who?

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

Earth to Major Tom, if you’re referring to isolation devices that’s simply untrue. But I confess I’m not sure what the heck you’re talking about even though you’ve mentioned it at least 3 times. Help! Help!

Fair enuff. ;-)

It’s a concept silly. you know, like the theory of relativity. Like the concept of black holes. Duh!

Scientists thought Einstein was full of it, too. The Newtonians had a brain hemorrhage. They thought Schroedinger was a crackpot. Ditto Heisenberg. Scientists must be brought around to new or contradictory ideas very very slowly. You know, they think they learned it all in school. Just because some idea or concept is controversial doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong. Follow? You mention some PhD level scientists who disagree with Sheldrake. I trust you aren’t trying to say that ALL PhD level scientists disagree with him. You realize, that would be kind of uh, stupid. You don't really think all PhDs thunk alike, do you?

If Morphic Resonance is not real you better alert the hundreds of customers of mine who have my products based on Morphic resonance. Send in the Marines! And let’s go one step further and speculate that my products, you know, the ones based on Morphic resonance, just might be the most popular audio products sold right here on A-gon. Gulp! Even the most die hard skeptic cannot put the Genie back in the bottle. You can think of it like the atomic bomb.

Someone wrote: Max Townshend uses an oscilloscope to display the effectiveness of his Seismic Isolators in a video viewable on You Tube. He gives a rap to the side of a speaker enclosure spiked to a concrete floor, then again with the speaker on his Isolators, the vibrations/resonance of the enclosure visible on the scope in both instances. The Seismic Isolators apparently not only prevent floor vibrations from entering a speaker enclosure, but also provide either damping of that enclosure or a pathway for the evacuation of vibration. I need to watch it again, as can you. Max also does a demonstration on a table top, displaying other capabilities of his Isolators. Good stuff, but not cheap!

to which agear replied,

"A deconstruction of Townsend (and by association Kait) from an actual Seismologist is pending. Should be a fun read. It will add actual meaningful data to the thread."

Geez, you guys have been threatening to send in the seismologist for months. It's actually a little too late as it appears you guys don't even know the difference between isolation and damping. Besides Townshend and I between us have more than 40 years of experience in vibration isolation. Only a fool would enter the fray at this point but I guess you guys are desperate so let er rip! Lol
