Thanks all for the input on the topic. When I used the word 'isolation', I suppose I was incorrectly using this as an umbrella term and was really looking for ideas on how to support the PLC, whether it be coupling or decoupling. And BTW, Warrren, I do appreciate the tips/info you passed along and I will say that I have looked at the Sistrum stuff in the past and have wavered on the edge of picking up one of the platforms here on Audiogon a couple times. Perhaps I'll take up Stehno's idea as a good starting point, and will seriously consider taking up Starsound's home audition offer as well. I've messed around with a few 'isolation' tweaks in the past and it's been rather interesting. I'm a pretty big fan of the Art-Q damper blocks to a degree that I simply consider them magical black squares...components of some strange alchemical process. I've got a Symposium platform under my amp that seems to work nicely, but with the consideration of the line conditioner as a passive unit (not even a buzzing transformer), I was a little stumped and looking for some direction.
Isolation for power line conditioner?
I have heard that many gain good results by providing isolation for their PLC units and was wondering what type of suggestions/experience folks out there may offer. I do currently have my line conditioner (Sound Application XE12-S) on a slab of MDF on aluminum cones. I put this together awhile back for the PLC I had at the time, and chose this route simply cuz I had the stuff lying around and it seemed to be better than nothing. That aside, considering this particular unit is, I believe, primarily a passive component, what solutions and ideas can you throw my way? Thanks in advance!
