Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Ralph, I absolutely do not think I know everything. I do think that everything that affects audio fidelity is known, and so there’s no mystery, but I know very well that I don’t know everything. A list of just what I know that I don’t know would b... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
I looked at this article:http://www.industrial-electronics.com/DAQ/optical_discs_digital_data_and_vibrational_jitter_effects....It absolutely does not show that isolation doohickeys under CD players have even the smallest value. Yes, blasting 105 ... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
LOLZ. I’m surprised it took you so long to delete my post. Though it was totally deserved. But you didn’t ban me from the forum? What’s wrong with you peeps? Seriously, what’s wrong with you? :->) 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Ralph, I can’t tell if you’re being disingenuous or you really believe what you write. For now I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and address your points. You’re in quotes below, and I’m not:"When you say ’0.01’ are you referring to THD? When ...

They cannot answer the question, They never will be able to answer the question. All they can do is insult us, and call us names, and accuse of having an agenda. But the one thing that would put us in our place, and shut us up for good, is forever... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Geoff Kait said, "every environment is different and vibration sources and amplitudes and frequencies vary all over the place. Thus, any attempt to explapolate the measured performance of an isolation device's effect on the audio signal and say... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Looking back I'm not sure it was in this discussion that I excluded turntables from audio gear that doesn't benefit from isolation. I usually mention that. Of course, it's incredibly obvious that record players will skip if you stomp around. So it... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Ralph, I've been in this thread for only the last few pages, so you should have seen my qualifier about vibration that I'm specifically not talking about turntables. Yes, obviously vibration when cutting a record, or playing it back later, will af... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Geoff posted a link that shows how to measure vibration, but it doesn't show how to measure the affects of vibration on audio as I requested. So yet again Geoff has failed.

Dave, you are welcome to ignore me! I don't care what you think either, but I don't get bent out of shape about it and feel the need to say so IN ALL CAPS. :->)

Atmasphere, I got it, you must be Ralph Karsten:http://www.atma-sphere.com/AboutUs#CompanyWhy don’t you just use your name? I always use my name. Even when I owned my acoustics company I used my real name. Even before the Internet, when the main g... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Atmasphere, I never said (or meant, anyway) that power cords don’t make a difference. Obviously using 22 gauge wire to feed a 1,000 watt amp is inadequate. What I’m always careful to say is that replacing one competent power cord with another is f...

As for "Are all those people deluded?" the answer is a resounding yes! This famous quote comes to mind: "If 50 million people say a foolish thing, it's still a foolish thing." --Anatole France (1844-1924) 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Jumping on the floor is not the same as loudspeaker cabinet vibration and expansion. One can shift the floor 1/4 inch while the other is measured in fractions of a millimeter. I’m sure you know that, and my article explains it in great detail, so ...
