Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade?
Glad the Ygg is working out in your system, Kenny.  Schiit Audio seems like "the real deal" in terms of designing and mftg. affordable, great sounding equipment.  For me, the MB upgrade to the Gungnir is turning out to be even better than what I h...

FWIW - the DIY bearing blocks are installed.  I have them under the pre-amp.  The set up looks a little "odd" due to height (Herbies Tenderfeet>> 1.5" plinth>>1.5" diam. SS ball>>Freya).  The movement the Freya displays when tapp...

bdp - I continue to look for a low-cost, concave metal option. Meanwhile, these furniture guards are very hard. I doubt dimpling is a risk using 4 of them with the relatively lighter weight components I have in mind. A valid concern, never the less.

Hello bdp - I appreciate the discussion.  As a sometime microscopist in the past (optical and SEM) I certainly appreciate how surfaces appear under magnification.  Given the apparent quality of the Ingress roller block products (it IS pretty looki...

Someone else had the furniture caster cup idea way before I did.  Just found this...https://www.stereophile.com/content/make-your-own-roller-bearing-isolation-system-1650-1Maybe not DH cones under the Taranis, Geoff.  Does look like 'em though.

@itsikhefex The DH cones do seem like a good buy at current pricing.  I don't know for sure but the Taranis amp I'm running seems to have them for footers (as supplied/stock) OR at least something that looks a LOT like them.  I have a mishmash of ...

Ah. Thanks Mr. Kait. Okay. No doubt those plastic floor guards won’t be as smooth as the Ingress Audio pieces bdp pointed out. For the price though, worth a try. Certainly at least on par with Diament’s wooden egg cup suggestion; maybe better with...

@bdp24 - Curious what you mean by "too soft"...Too soft as in won’t adequately act as a conduit for vibration? or too soft w/respect to deformation under the load of a component?? If the latter, not sure that is the case. Each cup can support up t...

PS - Music Direct has 'em too.  Price looks to be for a set of 3 (NOT per individual cone).  Pretty affordable as such things go.

Yup...the Golden Sound shopping cart seems to be down.  Curious how these things are priced.  See link here and scroll down to see their message about the cart.http://www.goldensound.com/store/c3/DH_Cones.html

Thanks, Geoff.  The DH site's shopping cart is out of service right now.  Anyone know if the prices shown for the various cones are for individual pieces or for a set of 3 (as sold)?  Might have to try some.
