Anyone Using Crystals?
I have been experimenting with tourmaline and some of the ideas mentioned in this thread.  I have heard some very good results, so thanks for all the ideas Geoff and @mahgister and others.  One thing I didn't see above (but I could have missed som... 
Higher end value cables
Anticables should be on your list I feel. I use only their cables except for ethernet which they don't make.  I have their reference level electrum cables which may be a bit above your budget. Perhaps you could get something used at the reference ... 
Seeking Advice on NOS DAC
A bit above your budget, and only redbook basically, but very good is the Concert Fidelity DAC-040https://www.audiogon.com/listings/da-converters-2017-11-17-digitalThis is the non battery version, which is what I have myself.  There is also a batt...

Must be a big difference between the original MIGs and the MIG 2s.  I know the former.

Geoff, In any case these DH cones with their squares are truly excellent resonance devices. Thanks for the tip.  By the way, I am also using a set of 4 of your springs under my Apple Airport Extreme.  Those work very nicely too.

Geoff:Another question.  Did you ever compare the performance of the GS DH Super Pad to the Squares?  Is there a big pick up?  I am debating whether to get one of the Pads to put under my amp.  I hear that the squares get you only half of the bene...

Thanks Geoff that is very helpful. I think I will go with a combination of Herbie’s and GS DH cones for the overall setup. The Herbie’s are pretty good too.  And I might skip the furniture.

Thanks a lot for the help @folkfreak and @lak.  I got a pair of 2 inch high stainless steel block shims from Amazon and that worked like a charm to get the GS cones under my amp.  @geoffkait, since you are quite familiar with the Golden Sound cone...

OK got it thank you @folkfreak.  Very good to know.  The super jumbo Golden Sound cones are 1.5 inches so these jacks might be to too tall.  But I now have some good working ideas from all your advice how to go about doing what I need.  Thank you!

Thanks again for the tip, Geoff. This makes me think that adhesive might not be such a great idea either. I suppose some adhesives might work better than others. The only reason I thought of it actually was that it should make  it easier to ens...

@geoffkait , @lak Another question please.  There is a paper sticker on the flat side of the cone which reads FINE CERAMIC.  Is that to be removed or left in place?Also, can adhesive be used to stick the cone to the underside of the amp?  Or would...

Thank you very much Geoff and @folkfreak for the detailed and very helpful advice.  Will try again in the near future. 
Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC
I see now that Geoff suggests keeping them all pointed down.  This seems very hard for me to manage.  When I get the super jumbos from MusicDirect I might give it another try, but I had a very hard time with the jumbo cones and gave up, leaving th...
