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?

I never seen MG or have I ever spoken with him in my 20 year association with Star Sound as a customer as a dealer or as a consultant. You have though.

All the devices you listed above,  including musical instruments develop interfering energy. We as a group know how to rid that interference from those devices. 

Amplified musical instruments have all that you stated on your blow back..Acoustic instruments have pickups attached or microphones attached or placed nearby. Our devices work in and around and under those and work to reduce the interfering energy ..from the instrument from the mic stand and beyond. Your stuff does nothing from the start.

Your stuff compounds the interference with waveform cancellation and loss of information and dynamics. You have been wrong for over 41 years..Tom

Theaudiotweak asks me for the umpteenth time to explain why springs are not bandpass filters.

 Geoffkait: "You're kidding, right?" 

 Theaudiotweak then replied, "Nope."

God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason.

You’re very confused. As well as a slow learner. With 3 small springs I can double the dynamic range.

Along with teleport the listener to a seething cauldron of Sheldrakish morphic resonance....;)

Please explain how springs double dynamic range?

Oh, a slow pitch, eh? Springs double the dynamic range the same way they double the S/N ratio. By decreasing mechanical noise sufficiently. Noise, you know, the denominator of the term S/N. So it would be fair to say springs can double the dynamics and the resolution. Follow?

Dare I go one step further and say by reducing mechanical vibration for the CD player the (analog) optical reading process is improved significantly, thereby greatly improving the digital signal downstream?
