Anti static foam?

Thanks Elizabeth :-)
I'm still a little confused about the install. I think I'll start with my dac; do I place a square piece of cardboard equal to the size of the dac o. Top of the board? Is it okay just resting thdre on top? And then just place the foam on top of the cardboard? Or is it better to have it form fitting and squished a little bit and placed against the cover? And how do I ground the baggies or foam to the chasis? If the foam is touching, and form fitted to, say the cover, would that ground the foam to the chasis?

Thanks for your help! I'm really trying to chase down the inexpensive tweaks now that I've got all the expensive ones out of the way ;-)
I'm going to purchase one of the croyed hubble outlets that you suggested in another thread too! Are the 20 amp versions okay even though it's going in a 15 amp outlet (?) as long as I don't hook anything rated at 20 amps into it?


Mofi, I'm suprised you haven't encountered static in the dry cold climate of Colorado. Everyone I know has crazy smounts of static in there homes, shoot, even in our cars. I've gotten out of a car and shocked myself so bad that it felt like someone pricked my finger with a needle!

And I did think that anti static foam was for static, not rfi, but hey, if it helps the sound and it's under $50, why not give it a try. In my oppinion, Elizabeth is one of the most respected philes around here and if it works for her I'm game for giving it a try.

Mofi , got bored and looked up the top ten driest states in the U.S.;Wyoming was third, Colorado was seventh fwiw :-)

Lol , you guys...

Ookay, sorry Elizabeth, I'm slow so once more; I'm going to cut little squares of this foam and place it on my dac chips but I first put a small square piece of plastic baggy directly on the chip, and then the foam on top of the plastic baggie? This is the part that I'm not certain of.

And you said your dac is stuffed with it; plastic baggie then foam packed to the brim on top of the baggie, baggie on top of chips?

If this is the case, would it just be best to lay a baggy covering the entire inside of the dac, with foam stuffed all over on top of that ?

Also, I was thinking of putting dynamat on the inside of the cover; any luck with that or should I not do that?

Thanks again!

Pb, thanks for the offer :-)
I love how much audio geeks (myself included) are willing to help one another out for absolutly no gain!

Elizabeth, thank you, it makes sense now and i will be doing this tweek; I'll report back my results!

Hey, Elizabeth, is the pink foam okay? No one around me has black foam but they do have the pink foam. And as far as baggies to put the foam in, should I be using the anti-static baggies from the computer stores? Thanks again!!
