Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

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

No, it means nothing.  I think part of the take home message from Ethan is that proper engineering (particularly when it comes to room acoustics and things measurable) is more important than gucci equipment.  I myself have experience that very thing.  I have had better sound in my sound room with Bestbuy gear than gucci audiophile grade in a standard room.  You cannot trump physics.  Now, back to the matter of how modulation of vibration effects all things electrical....anyone?

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