Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

Well I asked a question and you swung and missed. Strike 1.

how so, moops? I bet you didn’t even read Dave’s post, did you? Tsk, tsk

as they say in the Navy, never up never in. 😀

Here’s the relevant part of Dave's link, moops:

"Heinrich Hertz, a German physicist, applied Maxwell’s theories to the production and reception of radio waves. The unit of frequency of a radio wave -- one cycle per second -- is named the hertz, in honor of Heinrich Hertz. Hertz proved the existence of radio waves in the late 1880s. He used two rods to serve as a receiver and a spark gap as the receiving antennae. Where the waves were picked up, a spark would jump. Hertz showed in his experiments that these signals possessed all of the properties of electromagnetic waves.

Heinrich Hertz
With this oscillator, Hertz solved two problems. First, timing Maxwell’s waves. He had demonstrated, in the concrete, what Maxwell had only theorized - that the velocity of radio waves was equal to the velocity of light! (This proved that radio waves were a form of light!) Second, Hertz found out how to make the electric and magnetic fields detach themselves from wires and go free as Maxwell’s waves."

if you need some help with any of the big words feel free to Google them.

just a suggestion, you might try putting your transceiver in the receive mode more and the transmit mode less. 😀

Suspending all cables and power cords above the floor is always a good idea. Suspending them from eye hooks in the ceiling using thread, using a rubber band on one end, will provide very good isolation for the suspended cables and cords. This suspension of cables and cords illustrates the deleterious effect of vibration on the audio signal per se as well as on the electrical power coming into the system. 

By the same token the Enid Lumley cable tunnels of yore provide the same sort of protection against vibration and static fields. I.e. Cables suspended by string inside treated tunnels constructed with long sections of three 2x4s, two sides and a top 2x4 with eye hooks on the underside for suspending the cables.

A skeptic would have to be exceptionally hard headed not to see that vibration is bad for the sound wherever it is found in the audio system, no?

The only good vibration is a dead vibration.

That in and off itself does not mean anything.  I have heard people get good sound from very modest systems.  A lot of audiophiles do not really know what they are doing and thus struggle through the roulette of endless equipment purchases.
