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?

I have seen that 3ft beast of a crossover and seen it repaired. We then mounted it to one of our platforms. Suggest that the resistors be replaced when the unit is removed. If you dont want to remove the xover it can be mounted to our devices placed back in the cabinet and tensioned from the bottom.  Of course the path is only completed to ground when the speakers themselves reside on points or platforms. Springs put at stop to any exit plan.

Dave I cannot answer your inquiry at this time. You could always send me your number or the versa. Tom

No its not solved because the generated shear energy has no way out. Where there is motion there is shear thru solid materials. Even when suspended. All forms of motion are eliminated? 

Yes, it's solved! They already  observed the gravity waves, you know the waves with amplitudes of around the diameter of an atomic neutron. Your whole shear energy thing is a scam, a red herring. There is no motion, everything is down to cryogenic temperatures and in a super vacuum. Hel-loo! Wake up and smell the coffee!

Fair enough Tom. Appreciate the input on the crossovers. I feel certain that a tune-up is in order after all these years and I might as well develop a solution for keeping them external.

BTW - I have the speakers placed on a Symposium Svelte platform right now. Don’t think it is a complete solution as they can rock a little on top of the carpet.

Can't go for a big lift as tweeter height is a big deal with the CS5i. Already had to build a podium underneath my listening loveseat to get my ears up to the mandatory 36" height.

Best to you Tom,
Dave

sorry, you're confused. Seismic vibration isolation is a separate issue. Internal vibrations is handled by other means than spring devices. How many times have I said that? Too many to count, no doubt.
Speakers elevated on our points or platforms have an increase in image height, width and specificity even when the tweeter is above the ear canal. Dispersion is increased..You don't have less you have more. The image is almost like two overlapping spheres that allow you to see images as a whole or as a singular event within the performance ...you pick     16 by 9 performance on a wall to wall screen.  These devices remove interfering energy from the drivers and the cabinet. In another life I worked for a Thiel dealer..we were the only dealer in the state where they were located. A  heavy dense cabinet enclosure will store a lot of energy and has a long memory of the previous note that tried to come thru it. Tom
