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?

Geoff everything touches the Earth and is along for the ride. I know of only one operational device that doesn’t and only Bill Gates can pay the cost of entry. Tom

Geez, I give up. Carry on. Smoke if ya got em. None are so blind as those who will not see.

Tom, just curious, what exactly happened to you? I mean to make you so dense. Maybe you're afraid of losing your senior shill status.

But the ride is a lot bumpier without isolation. You can ignore isolation and you will still have an incomplete solution. Even your methods for getting energy out of the system are incomplete. The cost of isolation is low once the light bulb comes on in your head. As I've said many effective iso devices for audiophiles have been around for more than twenty years, including many from yours truly.
