It's measurements taken in various environments and it kind of agrees with the app I'm using. I'm trying to see how your measurements equate.
can you send a link?

Perhaps the real question to be asked is would you pay £1500 for a 'high performance' equipment stand that you couldn't sonically identify 100% of the time?
Very small is an euphemism. It's 1/(2^10).
You are assuming that people will not be able to tell the difference in a consistent manner. Perhaps you are right...perhaps you're wrong. I do not pretend to have a good guess on how Steven Toy would do.
I never tried any blind tests on possible differences between stands. I would guess I could not tell the difference. I have no conviction if there are any significant audible differences or not.I have not even had the chance to listen to my friend's setup with the new symposium platforms...
The differences in stands aren't small in my and many other people's experience.
I've generally been a sceptic on this kind if thing, after all I would prefer to site my CD player on lovely sideboard I have, but time and again my system has been improved significantly by what I plonk the CD player on.
I wonder if the expectation bias is working in reverse for the small group of agressive naysayers on this site. If it can't work you ain't going to hear anything.

There might be a difference ,is you CD player really poorly designed?

John the graph clearly shows the scale on the left as a number followed by m (mili). The scale is then m/s/s. the number is therefore 140mm/s/sLooks to me that the measurement for acceleration was 140 m/s/s. That's what I see on the graph as the scale being used.
Don't know, at this time I'm looking at this graph at it appears to show 140 m/s/s which I assume is the acceleration number along with the 300 Hz number that you plug into the calculator to determine displacement.
I see m/s/s on the graph and not mm/s/s as you guys seem to be indicating.
You're numbers quoted below for displacement seems way too low:
= 0.1 mm/s pk velocity
=0.0001 mm pk-pk displacement
That pk-pk displacement coverts to .1 micron.
Give it a rest, you're wearing out both drum and stick.
All CD players are poorly designed as are all DACs.

I guess it is confusing, but I'm sure BE is correct.
Perhaps what we are hearing is resonance, where small loads can induce harmonic vibrations in structures that are incorrectly designed. Very difficult to calculate and measure, I suspect.
In fairness to whatever CD player Steven uses do remember he is (IIRC) bypassing it's feet with a hard plastic tweak material, i.e. removing some of the designed isolation.
