Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
hi dlcockrum.  its all in jest.  I agree with the sentiments behind PCness, but the controlling elements always leave me a little concerned.If you have ever spent time on Audioasylum, AG is fairly tame.  The beer bottles fly over there.....

Is computer audio a bust?
I think AOIP (audio over ethernet) is the biggie here. USB is simply terrible for audio period! I have found at my cost it is the big bottleneck to PC audio. Look at a RedNet 3 and feed it from a decent optimised PC or Mac and you are done. Beats ... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Wow, you guys! I was telling a non-audiophile friend of mine just the other day what a good bunch of people there are in the audio world, particularly on Audiogon. I still believe this. Perhaps our shared passion for a hobby that I find paramount ... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Firstly, let me say I eat seismologists for breakfast. All this idle talk about seismologists is making me hungry.Well, well, what do we have here?  I will give everyone a hint with a snippet from the good old DSMR:DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic ... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
It’s always nice to engage someone who keeps coming back with these really good examples of illogical arguments AND attitude. LOL what’s funny is you are blissfully unaware of what you are even arguing against, I.e., Morphic resonance. Hel-loo!Do ...

I held off upgrading my computer audio til something made it worthwhile. It has. I stream my own flac files from a NAS, but find myself listening to thousands of flac files from Tidal now. NAS or Tidal wireless to Ethernet switch, optical isol...

Actually The Presence of the Past is filled with logically laid out evidence of Morphic resonance.Such as?  Speculative Biology is fun reading much like the Tao of Physics and other quantum pablum.  Much of it has the same intellectual merit as sc...

I did do a research project in grad school that won an award. It was on effects of earthquakes in the New Madrid Missouri area where the largest earthquakes in US history occurred. Even there I would not worry about it affecting my sound. It’s a s... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
You apprently have no idea what you’re talking about. Sheldrake is a PhD from Cambridge who has written a slew of books including the landmark The Presence of the Past. Intellectual is as intellectual does. It’s all in the concept, Ollie. You have... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Geez, you guys have been threatening to send in the seismologist for months. It's actually a little too late as it appears you guys don't even know the difference between isolation and damping. Besides Townshend and I between us have more than 40 ... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
It’s a concept silly. you know, like the theory of relativity. Like the concept of black holes. Duh!Scientists thought Einstein was full of it, too. The Newtonians had a brain hemorrhage. They thought Schroedinger was a crackpot. Ditto Heisenberg....

BTW, got a notification that Andrew replied here. Unfortunately, it seems to have been removed before I could actually see it.Too bad. I've noticed a distinct pattern with that guy and I think he's not being totally upfront with exactly who he is.... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
There it is! English Major! If I can make an observation: it's not really that unusual for audiophiles to make fun of things that are new to them or things they do not or cannot understand. ;-)Nope.  You assume English major since my command of th...

Geoff,I honestly can't get a hold on whether you are a mad genius scientist or a total loon. But what I do know is that you are a MASTER troll. And I love that!The fact that these other people keep engaging with you is total entertainment.That's p...
