What's your setup/configuration look like?

Good sir, I actually saw a test where they set up mics to record sweeps from a pair of studio monitors sitting right on the desk and then again after placing them on a pair of the IsoAcoustics ISO-155 stands/mounts and the response actually shows cleaner in the upper bass and mids.

I suppose it's not an absolute controlled comparison because they didn't find a way to lower the desk so the speakers are at the same height or to raise the desk before installing the mounts so that the monitors would wind up in the exact same position (within the room/space) before and then after, so some of it might be due to different room interaction (and also reduced reflections/interaction with the desktop), but either way, they're not mere snake oil.

Well, for all we know, just lifting your speakers up on a couple of thick books that do not protrude past the front edge of the enclosures might make all the difference (definitely cut down on reflections from those mid/bass drivers off the counter top).

This is all really interesting stuff, but something totally different again, not related to a turntable picking up vibrations.

People have as much room and freedom of arranging speakers as they have. They come here to show their setup to the community. Nobody get's injured by a sub-optimal setup and this is simply not the place for technical discussion.

I don't pretend to know anything about vinyl, so I won't hassle you on that at least.

OK, then, so we shouldn't make ANY comments on the systems being shown?

I believe the problem is that the posts go on and on, derailing from the subject of the thread.

If you want to discuss speaker stands, I suggest you start a new thread in the Off Topic category.
