| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I felt a certain kinship with Ralph and Michael Green, we three the only longhairs at CES in the 90's. I cut off my mop in 2003 when Pearl Harbor (whose band I had just joined) asked me if I would not mind doing. She was a London-type Punk/Rockabi... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Mane??I cut my hair back about 5 or 6 years ago and joined the establishment. Now I quaff kombuchas while driving my Honda Insight and listening to NPR. I guess with that I'll never shed the hippy image. How sad. Do the Birkenstocks at least live... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Wait…I'm still hung up on Ralph's "perfectly coiffed hippy mane." Having been a Real Hippy (as opposed to a "weekend hippy"), and a working musician since 1967 where I was overexposed to all sorts of hippiedom, I can say that "perfectly coiffed" a... | |

| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Some people's ego doesn't allow them to contemplate how little of our brains do we use, how little we know. A healthy dose of a psychedelic can help with thatInteresting. Can you elaborate on the last part of that statement? Ralph (with your per... | |

| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ethan, since you are an actual musician as well, please educate us on the potential evils of 7th order harmonics and how they might manifest in a system and/or room.... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? @agear regarding the 7th harmonic. Two minutes on google will turn up ample references from piano tuning, design of wind instruments and so on.

| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Perhaps it might help to know that in the last ten years, Dr. Herbert Melcher has shown that the human ear/brain system has tipping points. An example of that is if the playback has insufficient speed (risetime) the brain has a tipping point where... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Really. Besides, lots of things cause that metallic quality. E.g., RFI/EMI, vibration, background scattered light. As I’ve oft stated, in addition to that metallic quality there’s that thin quality, the rolled off quality, the bass shy quality, th... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? FWIW, the fact that trace amounts of the 7th order causes a metallic quality in the sound is something that has been known since the 1930s. So I don't see it as any stretch at all to simply acknowledge that such could be the case. I really don't w... | |
