Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

You got it. The spring loaded inner portion of my footers are the part that rotates. It provides the ability to level and provides stability compared to a spring alone. I suspect this would help against those nasty p waves in particular should they ever beckon to keep the gear from rocking like a horse. You rotate the inner portion to the height desired. These things work like a charm and would cost a fortune today. Who knew Radio Shack had it in them?

Getting back to reality for a second, the spring rate of the springs in those silly Radio Shack footers aren’t low enough to you know do anything. They are too stiff. In order to compete with the real iso devices the springs need to be quite springy, you know, to be able to get the resonant frequency down to an audiophile level. Let’s say 3 or 4 Hz shall we? Nevertheless I have a feeling Radio Shack sold a bunch. We all know about bliss and what constitutes bliss. Lol

Because they move they will generate polarities of shear one of which is interference.  Tom

Geoff, don't be such a cynic.   You sound jealous!  Calm down.

They only move a little bit, enough to damp the most common vibrations of lesser magnitude, the ones you would never feel or know about otherwise. The grooves the inner part rotate in are wide enough to provide some stability. So you get the best of both worlds, attenuation and stability all in a nice simple package. I never realized how great those things really are. Almost got rid of them a number of years back being only from Radio Shack and all.

Question: are you stupid or pretending to be stupid?
