The Best Isolation/ Vibration Footers per component - what's your experience?
Hi Richard,I just finished designing and building a custom walnut butcher block 7-tier system to hold my gear - 1-1/2" thick platforms on 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" legs, and honestly, I didn't spend much at all on the isolation points and rubber feet for th... 
CD Transports
Wow, so many in favor of the Audiolab 6000cdt - I'm gonna add my vote too. Still breaking mine in, but 3 months in, it is amazing and a great value at $549. Running it thru my Schiit Audio Yggdrasil dac, I'm hearing detail like never before. Have ...

Dried up Ferrofluid?
