Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

Seriously Tom, I would like to know what exact materials and construction techniques you recommend for isolating cables.

Best to you Tom,

Cable vibration is going to happen even if you put them on little stands (internal vibration? really?), and it is a part of Audio Mysticism to think vibrating cables have any effect on the sound of things (seriously…give it some thought) especially when you consider what happens once the cable reaches the vibrating speaker from which it actually hangs. It is gonna Feel the Groove so to speak, to say nothing (or to say something I suppose) about the fact that the crossover and its little important bits are generally INSIDE the speaker being subjected to serious vibrational mayhem…again…give it some thought as, amazingly, audio still has room for logic.

Understand, wolf, but not sure what to do about the stuff inside the speaker excepting drawing and dissipating the vibration out of the cabinet which I have done. I choose to attack what I can effect.

Cables vibrate do they not..internally and externally. You can screw up the sound of those as well. I think even suspended audio gear has wires and circuit paths that are degraded when unintended wave forms that run rampant are left with no exit. Your Play Dough is not the answer but is a part of the ongoing illness.

Can 50,000 advanced audiophiles who have bought spring based isolation devices in the last 20 years be wrong? Do you think it’s group hypnosis? Do you think they are deluded? Do you think the isolation gurus on LIGO project are deluding themselves?

Nice insults. At least they are more entertaining than usual. 😬

A section of LIGO is suspended but not tethered or grounded. You should ask them if this was by design or have they eliminated a polarity of shear by an alternate method. I would like to know that method. Tom
