Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
VIbrations are vibrations except some can be eliminated and some not.   You have to identify the source and determine if can be removed or not.   If so, remove it.   If not, tehn do what one will to deal with it as needed.We can agree on that.   I... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
gk your recall and  logic are both flawed. You collect your facts selectively and  draw conclusions as you see fit.My position is on the record. Not expecting your endorsement.Mapman out. 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Gk get your details correct. I said water will show vibrations. I did not say the source is seismic. Could be the gear itself, people walking on the floor, from speakers, nearby appliances.  Whatever. These are all possible variables but each case... 
Class D Technology
A better analogy,at least in teh case of newer BEl Canto amps, is souping up the engine.With ref1000m amps, they add custom input board for better integration with tube pre-amps and a beefed up powersupply board.Original ref1000 was just vanilla I... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
The sound of either pair of mine is totally detached from the speaker. Cannot tell where they are exactly with eyes closed. They never show any signs of strain and no noise that should not be there no matter how loud played off 500w/ch amp. So bas... 
Can you leave class D amps on and not ever turn them off?
Regarding sound quality when leaving on versus turning off,   I suspect leaving it on at it should be only helps but have not been dissapointed either to-date after firing it up cold. 
Room treatment-I was afraid of this
Corner placement worth a try also in a small room. 
Can you leave class D amps on and not ever turn them off?
FWIW, the BEl Canto ref1000m amps draw a lot of current when powered up.    If I power both up at exactly the same time, my circuit breaker will break.   Once on though there is never an issue.So a major power draw event like that is likely best k... 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
People make mistakes.   Sometimes very expensive ones.   One person's mistake can easily turn out to be anothers cat's meow.Regarding speakers I see a lot of Kef ls50s for sale.  I've heard them and they are nice little speakers but probably do no... 
Can you leave class D amps on and not ever turn them off?
Do what maker recommends.   Bel canto recommends my amps be left on so I do normally except if away for more than a day.   Class D should draw minimal power when idling and does not generate much if any heat due to efficiency so that makes it more... 
Class D Technology
It’s just dead quiet ie very low noise floor seemingly. Not sure why or how. Its a characteristic of both my BEl Canto Class D amps, but is especially noticeable with the all digital C5i integrated (no tubes upstream). 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Seriously I'd love to hear The Clinton's and Trumps systems.   Who does that better?  Inquiring minds want to know.  :)  
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Maybe a public presence at shows will lead to that.Those magazines, though.   Some seriously believe those are kinda rigged.   Money talks that's for sure. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Bass hump. Ouch! That’s the first I’ve heard that issue mentioned there but not uncommon. I might have brought a pair of Auralex subdudes along to set them on like I do at home on my second level (mine have no built in plinth underneath even).The ... 
Best of Hits?
There is no rule that says  its exactly the same as any prior releases.   It may be in many cases but also may be different case by case.
