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?

"BTW- the Solid-Tech Discs of Silence arrived today. Removed one of the three springs in each of the four footers based on the weight of my Sony 5400ES player with the Svelte shelf and placed them underneath. Definitely an audible difference. I need more time to get a handle on it."

a difference for the better one assumes. Take your time.

Hi olechool and Geoff,

I don't think these are coming out of my system. Distortions have fled. More to come.

Welcome to the high end.

A darker soundstage no doubt. Reduction in all polarities of shear  instead of just one will give a change in spectral balance. What do you hear? Tom

damage control is apparently under way. Maybe time for the big guy to check in, this time with whatever it was he has been promising. I'm still on pins and needles, scout's honor.
