Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Tom, thanks for emailing me your web site. So your patents are in audio circuit design? Vinyl record technology? Or for cello end pins?I’d love to hear the audio clips of your end pins versus carbon fiber. Looking at a waveform tells nothing usefu... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Ralph, aliasing should be included within a typical "THD plus noise" spec, and I see no reason to call it out separately. Harmonic, inharmonic, IMO it’s okay for all artifacts to be lumped together. If the sum of them all is below 80-90 dB, none o...

Ralph, the only reason my post was deleted was because I told you know who to you know what himself. It had nothing to do with your post.Digital systems do have aliasing, and that's like IMD except one of the source frequencies is the sample rate....

BTW folks (not you Ralph), I totally accept this is all my bad. I'm the atheist who ran into the church yelling, "There is no god!" :->) 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Ralph, yes, of course I understand that audiophiles use terms like "warm" and "rich" to describe the thickness that distortion adds to music. Unless the distortion is so severe that it’s gross and buzzy sounding, I agree that it mainly changes the...

By cleeds' logic, if a little bit of salt improves a hamburger, then an entire shaker full must be better still. I hope you can see who's throwing around the logical fallacies. :->) 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Well, he’s wrong. And you (and he) are the ones who don’t get it. And Argument From Authority never impresses me. But you don’t have to believe me. Honest, I don’t care who you believe. But if you're serious about understanding audio, you’d do wel... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
^^^ I’m sorry but that’s just wrong. The very definition of high fidelity is a flat response and low distortion. Yes, many fabulous recordings have been made on old school analog equipment. But that equipment has lower fidelity than even consumer-...

Your web site please? 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
agear, if you like the sound of analog tape and vinyl, then you like the sound of distortion. That’s fine! But it’s not high fidelity. Recording and mixing engineers add the amount of distortion they think is "musical" when they make the recording... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
LOL, yes agear. I would love to see any actual accomplishments from any of these people arguing with us! At least we know that Ralph is a knowledgeable electronics engineer. But what the heck do the others know? What are their credentials? What mu... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
shadorne, these people are immune to proof. And to logic. At this point I'm hanging around this thread only for its humor value, to see how stupid the comments can get. The winner so far is the guy with the 70 pound battery who's certain he hears ... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
It's clear that Geoff Kait doesn't understand what nulling is or how it works. I'll give you a clue: it doesn't "measure" anything. Here's a more complete explanation, not that you're interested in learning anything but maybe others are:http://www... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
^^^ Yes, exactly. And nulling can be used in many other interesting and creative ways. The device I'm currently developing can measure distortion down to extremely low levels, and it can even use music as a test signal. It can also compare two wir... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Ralph, do you know about nulling? It reveals everything that differs between two signals, including stuff you might not even think to look for. Nulling has been used since at least the 1940s (early HP distortion analyzers), so if there were some u...
