Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

agear, if you like the sound of analog tape and vinyl, then you like the sound of distortion. That’s fine! But it’s not high fidelity. Recording and mixing engineers add the amount of distortion they think is "musical" when they make the recordings. Everything doesn’t get distortion added! But some stuff does. If you like the sound of even more distortion, maybe you should take up recording and mixing as a hobby so you can dial in what you want in controlled amounts?

There is nothing jarring about digital audio. In controlled tests people are unable to tell when a 44/16 "bottleneck" is inserted into an analog playback chain. This is well known and well documented. The key is "controlled tests" which apparently many people here are unfamiliar with. :->)

What’s all this? Someone call a special meeting of the 12 Angry Men Society?

Note to self: it was just a matter of time before Nathan raised the specter of controlled blind testing. I didn’t see that coming. Fasten your seat belts. This could get ugly. 😩

I hate to judge before all the facts are in, but it appears Nathan must certainly be thinking to himself, gee, these guys haven’t banned me yet, whoops! Looks like my troll with these nitwits will be successful. Now it’s time to smack them upside the head with the old controlled blind testing crapola. That's

"Logical fallacy of the excluded middle, of course."

this entire thread is a study in logical fallacies. It’s become a tutorial on how NOT to carry on a debate. It’s got it all. Argumentum Ad hominem, strawman arguments, Appeal to Authority, Appeal to Age, Argument from Questioning Motives, Appeal to Science, Appeal to Credentials. And the most common logical fallacy on this thread,

Argument from Ignorance: The fallacy that since we don’t know (or can never know, or cannot prove) whether a claim is true or false, it must be false.

we do artificial atoms right!

I have 2 patents have a new one under application and review.. and with an associate one being updated.You can reduce the distortion on vinyl with the removal of a polarity of shear..You have to understand how its there in the first place and conceive a method for its reduction and or removal.. Shear is very prevelant in audio and is much of the basis for motion and sound. Some good and some not. Shear can be dispersed but never isolated..keep looking. Tom
