The floor of my listening room is concrete and it is underground, and my house is in the middle of a hundred acres in rural Michigan. I have no detectable noise from anywhere in the room or anywhere, including the AC power lines into the house. Zero noise anywhere, nothing measurable even from the components that make up my system. Has this hobby taken a turn towards the dark side? What about listening to, and loving music? Or is that just an afterthought on this forum?
Tiny bridges everywhere, but why?
As I am getting closer to my first "complete" system, I am starting to research and get opinions on smaller tweaks. The cherries on top, so to speak. The term "smaller" covers the size, cost and possible impact to SQ.
I do not know what they are called but I am seeing all sorts of devices holding up cables. Don't know why but they remind me of Navy Seals running out of the ocean with a telephone pole over their shoulder...
Thanks to this forum I have learned that everything in some way impacts SQ, so whatever these thingamabobs are called, do they impact SQ or are they a form of cable management? Both? Do materials matter? Am I going to have to splurge on rosewood versions treated with stain containing ash from one of Jerry Garcia's guitars, or could I use old shoes for now to accomplish whatever mission these fulfill?
I could have Googled this topic, but I want to hear from you - Your experience, choices, etc.
