Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

"Or those transmitted through the floor or can occur whenever gear does not set on a solid and firm foundation."

The problem is that even when gear is set on a solid foundation as you put it, the gear is still vibrating. That’s because the entire house is shaking due to the microseismic activity, traffic, etc. This is precisely why audiophiles found out a long time ago that all efforts to build a rigid, solid foundation for their gear are for naught compared to isolating the gear. The building, house, whatever is not only moving up and down but side to side and in all rotational directions. Cool, huh? Like a boat out in the ocean when a wave passes under it, the boat moves up and down, forward and back and rolls back and forth. Capish?

GK so how do you address that with your system? And do you hear a difference before and after?

My stuff sounds great, better than ever as a result of the things I have done to isolate my gear from various vibrations at hand.   Detail, soundstage, imaging, articulate bass, you name it.  All better than ever for me.

But one can always do better I am sure.

Mapman asked what I use in my setup.

Stage 1 - The Bio Mikro G utilizes bamboo, viscoelastic material and pure glass microspheres to mimic a woodpecker head’s bone, elastic layer and spongy layer, respectively, surrounding the bird’s brain. Without such evolutionary features, the woodpecker would surely damage his brain and or die.

Stage 2 - Diamond harness NASA grade ceramic cones underneath the Bio Mikro G.

Stage 3 - Cryo’d super low spring rate steel springs between the Bio Mikro g and the Sony Walkman.

Stage 4 - Constrained layer damping of my own design, VibraBlock

Stage 5 - Mpingo disc and Diamond Hardness cones placed on top of the top plate of the Bio Mikro G for further quieting of the top plate.

this Sony Walkman system minimizes all the things that would ordinarily vibrate in a larger system. It also minimizes or eliminates cabling, fuses, transformers, power cords, house AC, AC ground. You know, things that are inherently problematic. Not to mention this system obviously avoids all room issues. I view that as a good thing. Lol

Very cool.  

Ever try try just holding it?  The body would provide a lot of damping of both s and p waves.  

I have spring loaded rotating adjustable feet under my dac.  They were rather pricey in their day especially for Radio Shack.  I had them though and use them and they work great as best I can tell.  My digital sounds awesome if I might be so bold to say.
