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?

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.

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
