Also, Ralph, I’ll be glad to entertain any test you care to describe that will prove you can hear what you claim. Please, let’s do this and settle it for once and for all. You owe it to your fans here to truly prove your case.
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?

I hate to sound pedantic but there are a great many reasons why stock untreated CDs right out of the box played on stock untreated CD players frequently sound pretty terrible. And it’s not the recording folks. It’s not that it’s an early CD and it’s not because the bit rates aren’t high enough. Allow me to summarize why CDs often sound terrible. You can also visit my web page where I explain all the gory details. Most of these issues are inherent to the design of the CD and the CD player. A few are out of our control. Why Do CDs Sound So Horrible, http://machinadynamica.com/machina35.htm 1. CDs not demagnetized 2. CDs static charge not neutralized 3. CD Player not isolated 4. Scattered background laser light getting into the photodetector, both the visible and invisible portions 5. The magnetic fields produced by large transformers are degrading the sound 6. CD not absolutely level whilst spinning 7. CD Resonating 8. Fuse in wrong direction 9. Interconnects in wrong direction 10. Most CDs especially audiophile CDs are in reverse absolute polarity 11. Most CDs in the past 20 years are overly compressed, especially those released recently geoff kait machina dynamica |
ethan_winer BTW Ralph, you don’t have to keep saying stuff like "You don’t seem to understand." I’m certain there’s much here that you don’t understand, I don’t feel the need to insult you by using such language.No, you use obscene, vulgar language here to insult - hence your multiple deleted posts. Ralph is doing fine, Whiner, and has contributed much here. |
