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?

LIGO has little to do with Hifi - it is just a buzz word the ignorant use to try and shill those who are also ignorant

I worked for some of the original researchers trying to detect gravity waves when I was an undergrad. physics major, and believe me, they have little tolerance for BS

I use LIGO as an example of how mass on spring ISO systems can greatly reduce structural vibration. You can draw whatever knucklehead conclusions you wish.

By calling them LIGO nerds and audio nerds one assumes you are jealous of those who actually studied physics in school or are more advanced in this hobby than you are, which judging from your own words isn't saying much.
I have done my fair share of physics (and not at Imagination U).  Do us a favor.  Get out of your jammies, put the keyboard down, and do something meaningful.  Recycling the same tired lines over and over is not proof of concept nor is illusions to adverbials and white papers and vintage Stereophile articles.  Hello?

Directed at industry types like me? Earth to agear - thanks for thinking of me as an industry type but I’m not sure where you guys got the idea that manufacturers are obliged to either provide data or to make claims for their products. You want to buy a new TV? You walk into the store, look at the picture quality of a few TVs, ones you can afford presumably, and pick the one with the best picture that you can afford. It's not rocket science. There is no data, no claims by manufacturers, no demands for measurements. Why shouldn’t the same be true for audio? My guess is certain people just like to argue. Or they just don’t trust their golden ears. Look within, grasshopper.
Again, is it just a profound lack of self-insight or mentation problems?  We will never know....

why? We already have a pretty good number of abnormal pseudo-psychiatrists here now. No offense to you personally, scooter 😛
