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?

These questions are so incredibly puerile. Why not ask if birds fly?

I hate to judge before all the facts are in but I’m pretty sure many in this group, without naming names, won’t take umbrage in that remark because they don’t know what puerile or umbrage means.

Kait picks on another poster’s opinion: In case you hadn’t noticed this thread is actually about the technical end of things, not the sound. Nothing wrong with arguing about sound but it’s subjective. That sums it all up right there… a technical writer who manufactures products for the sound industry based on theorems and specifications and does not reference or listen to amplifiers and loudspeakers. Musical quality is subjective and likewise so is every theorem surrounding vibration management in audio including “isolation and springs”.

One last time? You’ll make it short? Whoa! Hey! Say it isn’t so! 😥

I’m afraid Michael Green must have done a Vulcan mind meld on you as you use the same empty and puerile argument style he does. I’d recognize that jejune, sophomoric attitude and debate ability anywhere. You'll huff and you'll puff and blow my house down. Lol

Have a a nice hair day

Your Highness please explain how springs selected at 3hz or 5hz or any frequency that doesn"t hurt ours..why are they not a bandpass filter. Tom

Sorry, Tom, you question doesn't even make sense. I've already explained why ISO devices are low pass filters. Are you really that dense or are you just pretending to be dense?

Isolate your musical instrument in Carnegie Hall and hope to hear whats removed.. No ripples in our You Tube video in a night club in the middle of New York City and all of its non interference at least when using our non isolating designs. Tom

Give me me a couple days to figure out what the heck you’re even talking about and I’ll get back to you. My fear is that like Michael Green, you guys are laboring under the false assumption that audio systems are completely analogous to musical instruments. That straw man argument has gotten you into deep Kim chi. I’ve always said that one must not only isolate the component but also evacuate any residual vibration.
