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?

"The Great Kait cannot come up with any evidence whatsoever that inaudible seismic activity affects sound reproduction “in real time”. It takes equipment costing millions of dollars to “SHOW” seismic frequencies that are well below that of human hearing."

Uh, I’m pretty sure you cannot hear capacitors vibrate or the vibration produced on the electronics by acoustic waves in the room. Besides, seismic vibrations go up into frequencies that ARE audible. Not only that but ordinary vibrations, the ones you guys concern yourselves with are also inaudible and cannot be felt. Things like election tubes, transformed, capacitors, you cannot feel them vibrate. Hel-loo! So your argument is just plain silly on many levels. The very low frequency vibrations and the higher frequency ones produce distortions in wires, cables, printed circuit boards,,etc. THAT ARE AUDIBLE. Don’t be such a silly goose.

"Ligo is an amazing system but does not relate to audio reproduction as the Audio and Recording Sciences relate to human hearing - we will provide a more detailed explanation forthcoming."

I’m on the edge of my seat. You guys keep saying that. Is this going to be someone who understands vibration isolation?

"I am a sound engineer - if I cannot hear it, we cannot improve or relate to it, so we put our money and research into improving what we can hear and what we do know."

I can certainly appreciate that you guys cannot relate to it. Most audiophiles can easily relate to it. I have no idea what your problem is. And from what I can tell you guys have not grasped a single thing I’ve said. Oh, well, C’est la vie.

Geez, I give up. Carry on. Smoke if ya got em. None are so blind as those who will not see.
Tom, just curious, what exactly happened to you? I mean to make you so dense. Maybe you're afraid of losing your senior shill status.
