Actually neither of the extreme viewpoints is very complimentary to this hobby. The fun is in sorting through the nonsense however one may do it and getting to the meat of the matter ie putting stuff together that makes good sound that is pleasing to the listener. Music is an art built on the foundation of science. Science alone will never account for everything. Pseudoscience can pretend to but its fake science not real.
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?

shadorne, these people are immune to proof. And to logic. At this point I'm hanging around this thread only for its humor value, to see how stupid the comments can get. The winner so far is the guy with the 70 pound battery who's certain he hears an improvement when it sits on an isolation platform. It amazes me that people who like to believe they have superior hearing have so little understanding about how their own hearing works, or how unreliable sighted comparisons more than a few seconds apart really are. Give any of these people a proper blind test and they'd fail like little children taking a college physics exam. |
