Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

Geoff,

The burden is on you to make a simple demonstration to show that vibration is a big issue. Cars and other mobile devices do not suffer electrical distortion due to vibration of electronics. You are talking about a fringe issue that is obviously rare or we would encounter it more often on a daily basis.

Huh? Portable devices like Walkman as well as car CD players employ data buffers to avoid the effects of walking, jogging, driving etc., which actually illustrates that vibration IS a problem for all electronic devices. Thanks for bringing that up.

Yes and if the earth explodes surely our sound quality will be affected as well.

what’s that supposed to mean, Spaceman? Can’t you muster something more uh, pithy than juvenile humor? 

There go the insults when no good response otherwise...

The interesting thing about this thread is no longer the original topic but the differences among participants and how normal things are presented from extreme viewpoints.

Ethan thinks high end audio and audiophiles who embrace it are all delusional and ignorant. There is some truth to that perhaps in some cases but clearly Ethan’s viewpoint is extreme and does not account for reality observed by most.

Geofkait as usual plays to high end audiophile paranoia and fears that something is missing or not right no matter what and sells colored dots and Teleportation Tweaks to prove it.

Most others seem to fall in the middle somewhere.

To Ethan’s credit he at least seems willing to discuss things with other experts like Atmasphere whereas GK always holds his position 100% no matter what and attacks and degrades anyone who challenges them.  He also is attempting to apply science whereas GK mostly applies pseudoscience with absolutely nothing to back it up except talk and reselling other peoples stuff as high end audio products to anyone who might care.

Its sadly like a little microcosm of the world in general and how self-important folks with extreme positions and viewpoints tend to dominate the news and discussions.
