Do stands make a difference for equipment?

Miguel, what stands have you used and what grounding schemes have you employed with them ala Maher? Results?

Miguel, can you comment on your experience with grounding Sistrum stands since that dovetails with what Maher appears to be doing....

Agear, I'm currently using a Sistrum rack that is grounded to my Tripoint Audio Troy using a Tripoint Thor grounding cable. Due to the high sensitivity of the TROY, you can hear dielectric materials, purity of metallurgy, shielding designs/materials all are very audible when grounding the rack. The key lies in the dispensation of the energy coming from the rack at a higher speed. It's all speed!In the future I need to change the shelves to brass. Resonating frequency in proportion to their equivalent mass also becomes critical for ultimate voicing. When your room and system become that revealing not only do the scientific principles apply but also materials choices become critical. Folks get caught up with the gear, source material and never address these other issues in their systems. They really never get to hear their electronics or the recorded materials due to all the noise. I know you know this but I can't ilustrate the importance anymore of addressing grounding.

Miguel, I have all my Sistrum racks grounded to a binding post that connects to a dedicated ionic grounding rod for the room but hope to one day use one of your boxes....

Agear, everything matters the Troy will let you hear more of the ionic grounding rod benefits. Are you using bendonite to lower resistance with the rod? In the future I would love to ground your room to the Troy for a ride to audio heaven.
