Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

That's what I've been saying. Thanks for chiming in. 

At this point you can consider isolation properties. Some great pics of Star Sound Technologies isolation products appear on my Auduogon virtual system here:

uh, Star Sound makes isolation products?! Really? I just got through talking with them here and they said they have ignored isolation for the past 30 years.

You are right and I am wrong; however, understand I use isolation in the loosest sense for all Audiogon community backgrounds.   The correct term that Star Sound uses on its platforms are "Energy transfer systems".  Is Star Sound into sales or consulting??  With that in mind, you get the gist I believe about savvy name engineering.  Thanks for bringing this to our attention though!!!  The important thing Agear is what you try may not work for me or Geof.  You really have to try the product in your system and in your own sound room for a few weeks minimum and that is all that is important no matter what you want to call your approach to vibration control.  I told my son that Star Sound Technology platforms are just great big peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and he gets it.

Huh? Who would want to put a gooey, sticky PBJ mess under their audio components? That doesn't make any sense at all.

I get it cdrc,
Thanks for your input on how different products worked for you, because that is the point..

I'm utterly unconcerned with seismic vibration, although I do have vibrapods under things and a set of groovy cones (had those for many years…they look GREAT) under my preamp to add ventilation and because they look cool. All costing me very little money. Maybe I've addressed this issue accidentally in my home rig, but in live concert situations using 1000 watt amps and subs, I simply don't see that any isolation potential exists. My main beef is with claims of substantial and audible improvements from uber expensive racks and $500 metal feet. Silliness in my view, and Barry Diament seems as delusional as geoffkait, although that might be a stretch. Note that I use guitar amps that have the speakers in the box with the amp…seismic indeed.
