Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

Huh??? 40 years here and another 40 there… Read ON!

Question: “40 years between us”; is that similar to “collectively”? Mr. Kait, you might check with Mr. Townshend and get legal permission before you consider him your adopted brother.

Whoa! What? Are you serious? What’s up with all the stupid remarks? Were you at the knee of you know who a little too long?

LIGO places all the detectors in a very high vacuum. Do you think that helps with your issue? As I have stated I’m a big fan of damping the top plate of my or any iso systems as some vibration from the floor is obviously being transmitted to the component, not to mention any self induced noise or acoustic wave influences. My devices - like all mass on spring devices - allow *ease of motion* in direction of interest, ease of motion being the opposite of inertia, no? Very stiff materials are good for resisting bending moments and using very hard materials (recall the NASA grade diamond hardness ceramics) are excellent for allowing vibrations to exist the system rapidly.

Have I missed anything?

You have missed everything as nothing concrete has been stated or verified (much like your guru Sheldrake).  "My devices...allow ease of motion in the direction of interest..."?  Say what?  

As the OP, the intellectual innuendo behind this thread is this:  does any data exist to justify the use of stands with electronics?  Thus far, we have have paranormal theory and talk of the occult influence of seismologic phenomena but nothing more.  Anyone?  

Solids in a vacuum will transmit shear from part to part. Maybe your LIGO model and reference has system parts that kill or cancel all polarities of shear. Some polarities of shear are required for audio reproduction others are not. Tom. Star Sound.

What causes the shear you’re referring to? The LIGO detectors don’t vibrate themselves, they’re excited to vibrate by external vibrations. That’s kind of the whole point. Unless you’ve got some sort of perpetual motion machine, here. So far you're not making sense. And as Judge Judy sez, if it doesn't make sense it's not true. Let’s try this. Rather than have you repeat your statement over and over try explaining what you’re referring to. Do you have a wiki page? Can you explain it yourself? When I talk about isolation I’m referring to isolating a component from external structureborne vibration. So somehow we’re on the same page yet. LIGO has the world’s greatest experts on vibration isolation. Somehow I’m getting the impression the guys at Star Sound do not know what isolation even is.
