Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Ethan, I think room acoustic software is a reasonable endpoint to measure.  There is freeware available to use to this end if people are so inspired.Here is a video from Townsend that was circulated earlier in this thread as proof of concept but i...

Geoffkait: "I’m not terribly surprised to see Agear welcome Ethan Winer with open arms."A definite turn for the worse.Au contraire.  Another voice in the mix.  Its all good.... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
I’m not terribly surprised to see Agear welcome Ethan Winer with open arms. Neither one of these isolation denyers - not to mention the two dudes from SS - even knows what vibration isolation is. Birds of a feather flock together.That can only be ... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
I just realized the topic of this thread is vibration isolation. I love this topic! Why? Because it's so easy to prove or disprove by measuring. But who has ever done that? Well, I did not long ago. Enjoy:http://ethanwiner.com/speaker_isolation.ht... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Here’s the thing: When someone makes a claim, the burden of proof is on them. It’s not up to me to prove that a 2 volt drop doesn’t have an audible effect. It’s up to the claimant to prove that it does. This is Logic 101. More important, trying to... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Tom used the word refracted when I’m reasonably sure he meant reflected. You can see how much or how little the reflection of the laser beam jumps around on one of the walls. This laser reflection method is actually not far removed at all from how... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Sure- why not? Same test, just using the Diament system. If you did this all with a sweep tone, it would be possible to show the strengths and weaknesses of the 'isolation' system under test.Sound Anchors did something very much like this- only th... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
That should not be hard to do. Place a preamp on the stand to be tested. Run the volume up with a shorted input (phono would be best). Subject the preamp in the stand to a 20Hz tone measured at 90 db at the front panel of the preamp. Observe for t... 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
I can also recommend ayahuasca which can add a shamanic solemnity and expansiveness to your listening experience.  The listening room walls disappear and there is only Peruvian jungle (and my speakers).... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
If I were ever to create an audio company, one name I would most certainly consider would be Placebo Audio, where "the only limitation is YOU!"  Ethan Winer has made a lot of people mad over the years, and has been banned from multiple forums for ... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
but you're not technical remember? you weren't even able to follow the technical data that's already been presented, including the isolation effectiveness data that a fifth grader would be able to follow. you have presented none.  lol.  Just circu... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
What kind of spurious signals and how was it measured? Anyone?Mommy, why is the sky blue?😳I would not expect a technical answer from you at this point. I do realize that NASA custodians are able to retire at 55 with 6 figure pensions (at our expen... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Here are Barry's words of wisdom here:  http://www.barrydiamentaudio.com/vibration.htmWhat I've found is that all of our components are being substantially inhibited from delivering their best because they are subject to external vibrations. By f... 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
I think Prozac or any SSRI would help most philes enjoy their systems more by nuking OCD tendencies..... 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
I think its time for a PET scan study on brain activity while listening to music.....
