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?

That from the king of woo and pseudo-science.

Uh, wouldn’t that make you the queen? Besides, didn't you just use that line last week? Running out of ammo, Moops?

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?

The sky is the limit at Imagination U.  What you posted earlier from some crusty folks at Stereophile can hardly be labelled a treatise.  

Again, show me the the measurements whey a spring doubles dynamic range.  Stop babbling and cough up some actual data.

No for two reasons:

1) I do not dabble in nor profit from pseudo-science. You proudly do.
2) I do not swing that way but if you do, there is nothing wrong with that.

"The sky is the limit at Imagination U. What you posted earlier from some crusty folks at Stereophile can hardly be labelled a treatise."

Suit yourself. Crusty folks? He was younger than you. More importantly, he grasped the whole concept of isolation. Bet you a cuppa coffee you didn’t even read it. Or couldn’t.

Agear thinks hard, pulls the trigger,

"Again, show me the the measurements whey a spring doubles dynamic range. Stop babbling and cough up some actual data."

That’s getting to be your calling card, the demand for data. Funny when it comes from someone who obviously doesn’t .understand data. Maybe you and Moopman can commiserate over a couple of beers.

Its so funny how you actually believe your pseudoscience ramblings have any importance.  Never saw anyone waste so many words over nothing.
