| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Tom at Star Sound wrote,"Geoff, Your saying your springs do not rotate or twist on their vertical axis, more so when they are longer?" No, I’m not saying that. I’m saying that depending on the number of springs and the spring rate and load they ca... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? agear OP wrote,Geoffkait: Actually that’s not true. But that’s what a troll would say. Maybe time to head to the library, eh? Of you’re looking for data you need look no further than the fact more than 10,000 audiophiles have purchased Vibraplane ... | |

| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Agear wrote,"You have not missed anything since that point has been obfuscated and thus my attempt to refocus the thread. Seismic juju is a red herring as is discussion of speakers, etc. Does vibration of any form effect electrical performance in ... | |

Theaudiotweak wrote,"When energy is applied to soft spongy materials that are used in combinations with springs supporting a loudspeaker, everything supported remains in a state of continuous motion. By doing so, this negates the operational effic... | |

| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? dlcockrum416 posts11-02-2016 11:57amHi geoffkait,Good discussion (mostly) on reducing/eliminating external vibration. What about internal vibration of components? I may have missed that earlier in the thread or elsewhere...Best to you geoffkait,Da... | |

Maybe your LIGO model and reference has system parts that kill or cancel all polarities of shear. Some polarities of shear are required for audio r... | |
