Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

Theaudiotweak,

Since you seem to be extremely enamored of the phrase polarities of shear and for some bizarre reason I haven’t figured out yet it probably time that I pointed out that earth crust motion - the seismic wave that travels along the surface of the Earth - has nothing whatsoever to do with polarities of shear or p waves or s waves, all of which are manifestations of vibrations produced deep in the earth, by the body of the earth as it were. If you guys had resisted the urge to defend yourselves and had consulted the seismologist, assuming she hasn't long thrown up her hands in frustration and left for greener pastures or, even better, had gotten her to discuss these technical aspects right here on this thread you wouldn’t seem so uh, clueless. The wave that travels along the surface of the earth has six directions of motion as I’ve already explained. Like your benefactor Micheal Green you guys are still, amazingly, hypnotized by the idea that vibration of any kind can be good for the sound.

Whereas you guys and your benefactor wish to allow vibrations to roam free - unrestrained, undamped and unisolated - I say the only good vibration is a dead vibration!

"All isolation devices sound different."

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying. And there are perfectly good reasons why they all sound different - as I’ve also been saying. The reasons are:

Isolation devices vary widely in terms of directions of isolation addressed and resonant frequency of the device, the latter dictating the effectiveness of isolation, as I just got through explaining a couple of posts ago.

Also, since seismic noise varies all over the place depending on geographic location, traffic and other factors one cannot really expect any isolation device to work the same everywhere or for every system. This is why I stated early in this thread that measurements for isolation are a bit pointless. Since you cannot generalize results.

Furthermore, many devices marketed as isolation devices are actually either coupling devices or resonators. Thus the statement that all isolation devices sound different can actually be viewed as an excellent example of a strawman argument. 

Finally. Most audiophiles continually change their systems so it's a moving train and no one should expect his sound to remain constant for very long. Thus attempts to compare isolation devices or ANY class of audio device or cable might be fruitless. 

She just...left my house after driving 18 hours for a visit on her way to a week long seminar. I showed her our video on You Tube and she said thats exactly what she expected of our technology. I showed her your responses to the thread..she just laughed as we and most others do. She will be thru again on her way back west so we can then do more analysis of our technology and discuss future applications. Tom.. Star Sound

Duplicate that experiment with your mattress springs Geoff or have one of your customers chime in (still crickets on that request....)

Geoff, you were clearly an English major at whatever community college you went to (one of the swirling, skatty, Jack Kerouac style which does actually require any real learnin').  Wikipedia and Barnes & Nobles don't hand out engineering degrees.  No red blooded engineer would be caught dead in bed with Sheldrake unless of course he renounced "science" after a Ayahuasca-fueled vision quest in the Peruvian rain forests.....   

A gear. That just shows you how much you know. They're not mattress Springs, they're Springs out of wiley coyote shoes I get off eBay. Since you actually have nothing to contribute to your own thread I'm  left with the distinct impression the only thing they taught you at the college at UVa is how to drink.
