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?

Even better folkfreak, let me know when you have tried the Sistrum, and I'll take you up on your offer and come over and hear your speakers with the Townshend Seismic platform, and then the Sistrum.
Remember that the SS stands takes days to settle so start with those and then flip to the Townsend. You are in for a surprise given all the aspersion cast upon their humble "cone" based technology. The walls of my listening room are engineered around their technology and it crushes everything else I have heard. It has a vibratory life of its own like a tuning fork. It is not some disembodied stereo which is what most systems I have heard at shows and in homes sound like.  Imagine an orchestra without the room in play. Just plain silly.

An interesting test would be spectrum analysis of speaker output with and without stands.  While the Youtube video of the Townsend product is visually intriguing, it tells us nothing about changes in frequency performance and output.  

Will the spring cause cancellation of the smaller motor forces of mids and highs?  With attenuation of high frequencies, I believe there will be a perceived increase in bass output due to a change in spectral balance.  

Like using a spring as an endpin on a violin, I would assume that there will be attenuation of dB output and thus my prediction is that the SS stands will be louder and more dynamic.  I could be wrong.  Look forward to hearing your findings.  Wish I could be there as well.
