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?

Thru the use of a select natural material that has the same velocity of sound as that of air. This material may still perform better if it were also mechanically grounded. Dave..thanks for asking. Thats all. Tom

"That in and off itself does not mean anything".

That, in and of itself, says everything.

Eggs ackley! There's the high end and then there's everybody else. Talk amongst yourselves. Smoke if ya got em.

in response to the question, how would you isolate the cables?
"Thru the use of a select natural material that has the same velocity of sound as that of air. This material may still perform better if it were also mechanically grounded. Dave..thanks for asking."

A perfect example someone who hasn't yet glommed on to what structureborne vibration is all about. Besides, what on Earth is a "material with the same velocity of sound as air? It’s air! Hello! And grounded to what? - the very structure you’re trying to escape?! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. 😩

It would, appear based on recent posts by the "other side," there’s an ever-widening chasm between Mid Fi and Hi End.
Your almost to 21 years and still wrong. Energy being released at a defined exit point is greater than energy trying to enter that same point. Example your mouth and your brain. Tom

"Suspending an audio device from the ceiling will never isolate the device from its self generated vibration or resonance."

I never said said it would. Besides, there are no internal self generated forces involved with the cables. Unless you want to argue that photons have force. I’ve always said you need to isolate AND damp internal self generated vibrations. Haven’t you been paying attention? That’s a rhetorical question, no need to answer.

then Tom wrote,

"The suspended device in motion ..and everything is in motion needs to dissipate the negative influences of some but not all waveforms. Some waveforms will travel the chassis but can be directed out via a copper ground strap to a mechanical/electrical ground. Without the exit point provided you will have a resonance build up even when suspended."

There are no internal waveforms in the cable to worry about. All electronics should be isolated, too. Everything should be isolated. Hel-loo!
