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?

mapman steps up to the plate. He looks the ball over carefully.

Mapman takes a swing,

"I’ll re-iterate my 2 cents from earlier FWIW and kindly bow out adding only that stands are part of the solution but alone may in fact accomplish something, little or nothing.

"Its clear vibrations can have an effect on electronics. Keep increasing the magnitude of vibrations and eventually the effects will become clear.

What’s relevant though is do they actually have an effect that is audible and matters?

The correct answer of course is maybe. The greater the magnitude of vibrations at various frequencies and the more delicate the electronics the more the chance.

The practical approach I apply is to do everything possible to provide a solid foundation for gear to sit on. Speakers especially."

He swings! he misses! The mighty Mapman has struck out. There will be no joy in Mudville today.

Ah, I see, so you believe in that eye for an eye biblical stuff as well! You might want to reconsider though. Look at where its gotten the Middle East.

Not as long as your  opines are in play it would seem.

Hi geoffkait,

I recognize those traits so well in myself. Like looking in a mirror when I don’t spend any time seeking God.

I have a sign in my listening room, "BE SURE TO TASTE YOUR WORDS BEFORE YOU SPIT THEM OUT". I make sure to stop and read it each and every morning.

Best to you Geoff, really,
Dave


Dave, you are the anti-Kait and too refined a soul for this nasty band of philistines.  Yes, those traits are all inherent to "flesh."  The DSMR simply refers to a more pathologic, higher frequency of expression.  That is true for all axis II personality disorders.  

An interesting side note would be what smoldering, occult psychiatric disorder drives audio?  OCD?  Would a pill make all this go away?  
Kait, since Sheldrake makes an argument for things like telepathy and telekinesis (https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/scientific-heretic-rupert-sheldrake-on-morphic-fields-psychic-dogs-and-other-mysteries/), would't that be the ultimate form of equipment isolation?  Use our minds to float the stuff.  Now that is from the future....
