Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Isolation from seismic vibration proponent and recording engineer Barry Diament, previously mentioned by myself as introducing me to the concept, had his Soundkeeper Recordings "Equinox" release by Markus Schwartz and Lakou Brooklyn awarded Recording Of The Month in the February 2011 issue of Stereophile Magazine, and is again mentioned by Jim Austin in his November 2016 review of the Mytek D/A Processor/Preamplifier. You may take that with a grain of salt, as Wolf Garcia proclaimed Mr. Diament "delusional" in his November 28th post in this thread. |
Here are Barry's words of wisdom here: http://www.barrydiamentaudio.com/vibration.htm What I've found is that all of our components are being substantially inhibited from delivering their best because they are subject to external vibrations. By far, the most sonically and visually degrading are those vibrations in the ground that enter the component via its feet. These seismic vibrations (the ones very low in frequency and amplitude, so tiny we don't even normally feel them) are creating spurious signals within the sensitive circuitry of your components. These spurious signals mix with the real music and video signals to distort them, hardening the treble, thinning the bass, muddying the soundstage and annihilating dynamics. Seismic vibrations add grain to video pictures, ruin color purity and contrast and soften focus.What kind of spurious signals and how was it measured? Anyone? |

What kind of spurious signals and how was it measured? Anyone?I would not expect a technical answer from you at this point. I do realize that NASA custodians are able to retire at 55 with 6 figure pensions (at our expense) and can fritter away their time as you do. As science fiction is your primary focus, any books in the works....? |
