Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

I have used cones and spikes of many types (not those from Star Sound), sorbothane feet, vintage Audio Technica footers, wood blocks, brass footers and probably a few others, and never could I say that any of these gave my system better sound across the board like the springs do. I obviously have not tried everything (not even close), but the cost/benefit ratio of these springs is ridiculous. Just my experience. No horse in this race and no disrespect intended to anyone.

Dave, I believe you.  What sorts of amps?  I have noticed the best effects  under tube amps.  Starsound stands have a much more profound impact than their cones.  That being said, the more things vibrate, the more pronounced the results of any of these technologies (room>subs>speakers>TT>CDP>tubed gear>SS and digital gear).

One of my motivations for this thread was a theoretical basis for the effect on electronics and why.  There is little to no data to be found.  Just lots of woo woo and strong pseudo-scientific opinions.  That does not mean the answer cannot be found or that their application is not valid.....

TO THE MODERATOR:

PLEASE PUT A HALT TO THIS THREAD.

It does not reflect on the majority of folks involved with Audiogon threads.

Actually; this thread is a disgrace...

Whoa! What? Say, aren't the feller who used the word puerile a couple days ago? See the irony?

Uh, at least two examples of measurements for vibration isolation devices were already provided. Not to mention the landmark physical and theoretical treatise on vibration isolation - as it relates to audio - published in Stereophile magazine more than 20 years ago. Hel-loo! By the way, I really like the way you sneaked the word "theoretical" in there, as if you knew anything about the theoretical physics, or any physics for that matter, involved. Do you label Everything you don’t understand you label woo or pseudo-science?
