Isolation Feet for Laptop
@oldtechguy  Yeah, I did the same.  I took my entire CD collection and used EAC to turn them into FLAC. I also took some of my tapes and records and turned them into high-resolution WAV files. I actually saw someone add stone slabs to the bottom...

@jonwatches1 You missed nothing. Who cares what a speaker costs? It’s all the same tech. No matter how much you spend, it’s still a magnet with a cone attached using Copper wire using copper coils to separate frequencies in a crossover. OOoooh, ...

@kellyp  The incoming Synergistic Research Tranquility Basik is specifically designed to handle the magnetic isolation and additional EMI from the computer. It also has mechanical acoustic vibration mitigation.   I have the Townshend AIr Platform...

@mewsickbuff  OMG!!  I got the OREA isolation feet in and put on my sub.  What a HUGE difference! I expected tighter bass and I got that, but what I didn't expect was that it affected my actual main speakers too. I have hardwood floors and the HD...

@ghdprentice  My background is computers and electronics. From an engineering standpoint, the only advantage a streamer has is that it is a closed system. It still uses IC chips, solid state drives for storage and pulls in AC to convert to DC, th... 
Deceptive Connectors
@4krowme I have noticed that manufacturers do not mention what the connectors are actually made of. All they love saying is that they’re "Gold plated" and wrongfully tout that it’s better conductivity, when that’s not what the Gold is for. It’s ...

@mewsickbuff  Thanks for understanding.  I actually have bought four OREA discs that I was originally intending to use on the laptop.  Now they will move to the subwoofer, where I think it will have an incredible effect.  It's a down firing sub, ... 
Synergistic Research MIG 2.0 Review
I am about to find out how these work as they are coming free with my purchase of Synergistic's Tranquility Basik. The one thing I wish was included in the spec, is how tall are they?  An inch?  Inch and a half? I am trying to figure out logistic... 
Isolation Feet for Laptop
@ghdprentice  Ok, fair enough.  I am doing the exact same thing as the "high-end" streamer is doing, it's just being done in separate parts externally. I see no difference in what I am doing.  I am looking to absorb vibration, control EMI, reduce...

@jerrybj  I hadn't heard of Q-tape.  Just did a cursory read up on it.  Seems interesting, mostly for the actual electric box to the house.  According to the manufacturer, it wouldn't be best to use it directly on or near sensitive electric equip...

@audiopoint  Good information, thanks. :)  
Isolation Feet for Laptop
@ghdprentice  I don't disagree, but understand that these isolation feet come in grades of 4 pounds to 32 pounds. Therefore, it is clear that the benefit of isolation isn't limited by how much your equipment weighs.  I have seen plenty of setups ...

@lanx0003  Well, I am an explorer. I do some DIY, cheaply and sometimes I use manufactured items. Cost is what it is. I don't look at my audio and factor in how much each song is worth, as if there was some form of monetary savings to be had. Fo...

UPDATE: I decided to get the Townshend Air Platform.  Thanks for everybody's positive input. Peace.  
Isolation Feet for Laptop
@tomic601  You definitely hit upon some good areas to check with the limitations I currently have. I like the idea of finding some FEP heat shrink to seal the FMJ to the Dragonfly Cobalt.  In regards to surgery on the computer's power supply and...
