Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

Hi Geoff,

"Understood, but wouldn’t a few different models with differing spring rates be sufficient to handle the majority of gear?"

Was it yesterday I said spring rate had to be matched to the load? I have different springs for different loads, from 1 lb to 300 lb. 

"Would the rotational feature within the base be beneficial?"

Probably not.

"The height adjustment would simply function to level the gear?"

Springs are self leveling. If you can't move the springs manually move the component. It's not rocket science.

Geoff you are offensive. You called me a monkey and dense.

As I stated a spring is never in a static state even when loaded. Your example of saying a spring is self leveling proves they can never reach the level of stasis. Springs will rotate when in motion as they have poor rotational rigidity. Tom

Sorry, Tom, but you just don’t get it. I never said there was no motion. In fact I said there definitely was motion with springs. My company name Machina Dynamica literally means moving machines. Please do yourselves a big favor and Google mass-on-spring isolation. That will save us both a lot of pain. Especially you. And I hate to point this out but in fact springs have very good rotational resistance. Especially when there is more than one spring. And when the springs are very stiff...like my springs. Don’t be a donkey or a monkey.

Cheers and have a nice day
