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?

Robert/audiopoint-- if you would be so kind as to send me a pair of Sistrum Platforms sized for a Magico Q3 I'd be delighted to perform the comparison and report back -- just an open offer. My experiences moving from the Magico Q3 spikes (into wood flooring on concrete in an urban, highly traffic and construction affected room) to the Townshend podiums are on record. I would agree that the difference moving from spikes to the spring based platform was not at all subtle, one sounded like real instruments while the other sounded like a PA system but I'm open to other approaches to the same end
Good for you Folk.  SS does have a demo provision.  You will need some extra muscle to set them up and it takes a few days to settle but it should be educational in your splendid room/system....
