| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? theaudiotweakA spring will move above and below its resonant frequency. Springs don’t have a natural frequency. They have spring rates. The device as a whole has a natural frequency. The frequency at which it moves. The more springs the higher the... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? theaudiotweakIGNORE is to be ignorant, duh! Cheers..Tomone assumes you're looking in the mirror. Have a a nice day | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? theaudiotweak"Geoff,Those springs help develop and help retain shear wave interference."No they don’t. The combination of mass and springs attenuates the structural vibration, ALL structural vibration, whatever its source. Vibrations that reside o... | |

| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? TheaudiotweakSprings add another boundary layer and introduce more interfering energy. The motion artifacts of the springs and resulting inertia when driven by the voice coil of a speaker need to be overcome by the voice coil. If you suspend all s... | |

Springs put at stop to any exit plan."sorry, you're confused. Seismic vibration isolation is a separate issue. Internal vibrations is hand... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? theaudiotweakNo its not solved because the generated shear energy has no way out. Where there is motion there is shear thru solid materials. Even when suspended. All forms of motion are eliminated? Yes, it's solved! They already observed the gr... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? As for the cables going into the speaker cabinets that’s a problem, too. Fortunately the speaker cabinets can be damped, the speaker cable connectors can be damped and the speakers can be isolated. If it were up to me I’d take the whole crossover ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Theaudiotweak wrote,"A section of LIGO is suspended but not tethered or grounded. You should ask them if this was by design or have they eliminated a polarity of shear by an alternate method. I would like to know that method."A section? The entire... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? theaudiotweak wrote,Cables vibrate do they not..internally and externally. You can screw up the sound of those as well. I think even suspended audio gear has wires and circuit paths that are degraded when unintended wave forms that run rampant are... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? theaudiotweakBut there are wave forms being developed within the component even when suspended. There are polarties that are part of the intended signal you want to maintain.... and some of the same original wave that travel and create polution.... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? theaudiotweak"Suspending an audio device from the ceiling will never isolate the device from its self generated vibration or resonance."I never said said it would. Besides, there are no internal self generated forces involved with the cables. Unle... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? theaudiotweak in response to the question, how would you isolate the cables?"Thru the use of a select natural material that has the same velocity of sound as that of air. This material may still perform better if it were also mechanically grounded... | |

| Test CD s, which ones to get. Depends on what you’re trying to do. For setting up speakers the best is the XLO Test CD, using the track with Out of Phase info. "Listen to my voice. It should be coming at you from all around the room." When you get the best non-coherent surroun... |
