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?

G also you can go back and study my posts over the years that you are obsessed with. I’ve commented on topics related to this one many times. I really can’t waste anymore time trying to have a constructive conversation with you.

You call this trying to have a constructive conversation? Are you crazy?

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?
I understand that.  That's true of my field as well.  Things start that way.  But the data eventually follows if its true.  Furthermore, Einstein, Schoedinger and the like did a lot of intellectual legwork to ground their ideas.  Sheldrake is not in the same neighborhood.  

If Morphic Resonance is not real you better alert the hundreds of customers of mine who have my products based on Morphic resonance. 
MR is superimposed onto your products.  It is not necessarily the reason they work.

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
I agree.  I too have been waiting on a report from this mysterious seismologist.  Robert?  Tom?  What is the hold up?  It would anchor this thread better and save it from schizophrenic woo woo.
