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?

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.

Why do I have the feeling you’re hearing all this for the first time? I explained what I meant, anyway. You’re just being obtuse, or pretending to be obtuse. Can’t tell.

"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?"

Actually that’s not true. But that’s what a troll would say. Maybe time to head to the library, eh? Of you’re looking for data you need look no further than the fact more than 10,000 audiophiles have purchased Vibraplane isolation. Oh, wait I almost forgot. You’re a skeptic that cannot be convinced of anything. You probably think it’s paranormal or group hypnosis. To be so skeptical about vibration isolation, you know, 20 years after the introduction of vitbration isolation to audiophiles doesn’t really reflect well on your progress in this hobby. You call yourself Ag Ear but can you even hear?
