Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
I agree 100%.  I have had good results with tubed gear in particular.  I had a fire breathing dragon of a SET amp in a previous system, and I noted that the room stayed cooler (which the stand manufacturer, Starsound Technologies confirmed in thei...

LIGO this the most sensitive physics experiment in history! the gravity waves which it detected finally last year had amplitude the diameter of a neutron. If LIGO uses springs as opposed to some cones or spikes or other coupling devices then sprin...

ps for those with good memories Machina Dynamica spring based platforms were highly desirable and much sought after back in the day on Vinyl Asylum, I’m sorry I did not get the chance to acquire one when they were availableYou can always redeem t...

As I mentioned earlier LIGO uses springs and they are required to use what's best. Why more audiophiles don't use springs, well, you'll have to ask them. "I looked everywhere but couldn't find them" is a common refrain.Diversionary answer.  LIGO i...

This is an old thread but how apropos!  Hi end audio has an underlying dialectic that can prove to be confounding.  For too many (including myself), the equipment becomes an altar or idol and the music gets forgotten.  Add to this a baseline of OC...

As far as I can tell the most math doctors need is addition, you know, for adding up the bill. I, by comparison, went all the way. J. Edgar Hoover: Do you go all the way?Shirley Temple: No.J. Edgar Hoover: I don't either.;-)The take home message i...
