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?

and none of them dissipate a polarity of shear that generates interfering energy. In fact most of them unknowingly aid in the creation of more interference. More interference is a byproduct of many so called isolation systems including all those that are suspended. Careful what you wish for and video aides on the web can be both hazardous to your ears and your wallet. Tom

Hi Geoff,

Symposium Acoustics Svelte shelves and Rollerblocks (which do, I understand, "dissipate a polarity of shear that generates interfering energy") and edenSound TerraStone roller footers. I am enjoying great success with these products as of late.

thanks for the info, Dave. It is my understanding that polarities of shear are best swept under the carpet where they can't interfere. 😛

As I said earlier (and monsieur Kait may not have opened up the link), the answer lies in isolating the listener with these bad boys. All you need is missing is a Machina Dynamica logo:

agear, while that’s somewhat humorous (even though you’ve used that stale joke previously) what’s much funnier is that neither you nor the brain trust at Star Sound seem to know what shear waves are. Just more posturing and name dropping. i hate to judge too harshly but it certainly appears that at UVa the college places more weight on puerile humor than science.

have a nice day
