Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

No, Central Maryland.

The only gear I have to do any tests is my ears. So I know its possible.  It is not subtle at all, perhaps one of the clearest and most obvious differences/tweaks I have heard.    The jumping test I indicated shows that it is at least possible as well. I suspect its fairly common even.

I don’t expect you to believe me though given your criteria for acceptance.

Its most apparent listening with my OHM Walsh speakers that have downward firing ports but I hear it as well with small Triangle and Dynaudio monitors in 12X12 room on second level. In same size room below at foundation level, I do not hear a difference.

That should at least make sense. Whether you believe it can be heard or measured otherwise or not is another story.

Also I would say that my explanation could account for what you measure in a single room but your measurements in a single room cannot account for any others.

In any case I hear what I hear and know what I know and I’m sure there are others with similar experiences. Bring your measuring gear on down and we can perhaps both learn something together. Or try some more tests on your own. New discoveries can happen anytime.

I've been a professional audio engineer and musician for more than 45 years, and deeply into acoustics for the past 20 years. So I have a good handle on what happens in rooms, how things sound and are measured, and - maybe most important - why people think they hear stuff that isn't real. Now, that might seem controversial or even insulting, but you probably know that there's an entire scientific field called "psychoacoustics" that deals with this sort of stuff.

So, as always, the burden of proof is on those who put forth a theory, and after more than ten years of asking for proof nobody has ever shown any. Not once, not ever. Ask yourself why that is.

Ethan, I think room acoustic software is a reasonable endpoint to measure.  There is freeware available to use to this end if people are so inspired.

Here is a video from Townsend that was circulated earlier in this thread as proof of concept but it in no way measures endpoints that are meaningful:

It isn’t hard. Anyone can try and prove to themselves. Obviously your mind is made up. All I can say is you are definitely wrong on all counts in this case so I am not impressed. Better keep on testing. I am not in the business so I have no time or desire to prove anything to anyone except myself but I stated my case and will discuss and share findings happily and honestly with anyone else who happens to care. If you claim to be an "expert" then the burden is on you for your own benefit to make sure that you really are. My advice would be to run some more tests because you are missing something of significance so far it seems.

No, the burden of proof is on those making the claim. Logic 101 teaches that you can't prove a negative.

So yet again we reach a stalemate where someone who believes in magic has time to make more than 14,000 posts (!), yet claims to be "too busy" to prove their beliefs. Or even learn how to measure this stuff. As Carl Sagan famously said, "I'd rather know than believe." Apparently some people would rather believe than know. Which is why these arguments continue. You can't argue with a belief system, and people will believe what they want in spite of all logic and evidence. Or in this case, lack of evidence.

Look, I'm sure you enjoy your system, and I bear you no ill will. I just hope you didn't waste too much money on "isolation" products because they don't affect the sound, even if you believe they did.

"Everyone understands and accepts that the placebo effect is real, but for some reason audiophiles think it never happens to them."

I'll leave you with this commentary on the current state audiophilia:
