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...

@mazian  I received one isolation foot to test with and it is rated for light weight specifically.  Also, many transport products like DACs and Preamps are not much more than 6 to 8 pounds.  My laptop is 7 pounds.  So, I personally think it has p...

@ryder  A post earlier pointed me in a better direction.  The Townshend Air Platform. It is specifically designed to offload vibration from laptops. I believe that is a better option than isolation feet. Also, Synergistic's Tranquility Basik is ...

@ryder  I don't have a fan noise issue. More like, fan vibration that vibrates throughout the entire laptop and reaches the USB port where the DAC is. Vibration has a negative affect on electronic output. Dissipating or reducing that vibration ca...

@mazian  Not until you arrived.

@fiesta75  LOL, you have to have an actual valid point to have an argument. Sorry, insults aren't a viable point of view in a discussion. But hey, c-ya.

@ghdprentice  What makes a streamer better? Better yet, what makes a streamer worthy to have isolation tech but not a computer?

@lanx0003  The issue isn't actual, audible, fan noise.  I wouldn't have made this post if that were the case.  After 25+ years of computer technical support, I suspect I know my way around a PC. There isn't a noise problem to solve that is direc...

@tomic601 Sorry I am still not sure we’re on the same page with terminology. The power panel to the house cannot be altered by me, since I am renting. The Shunyata Venom V16 has two zones. The monitor and laptop are plugged into Zone 2 and the...

@slaw Thanks, that looks like a possible idea as well. :)

@tomic601  I don't use power savers. No screen savers.  The system is in presentation mode.  It never saves power.  Unless I disconnect the plug.  On battery, it will conserve power. IN which case, all performance goes downhill.

@tomic601  I am currently using the FMJ Jitterbug.  I had bought the USBe Perfect, but it does not work well in series with the Dragonfly Cobalt, but the FMJ definitely does. I will save the USBe Perfect for when I upgrade to a standalone DAC. P...

@tomic601  Alright, I am looking into that now.  Seems reasonable.  The Basik, which is what I could afford, doesn't perform any mechanical vibration isolation, but perhaps adding these isolation feet to the Tranquility pad would help.

@fuzztone  I am happy for you and your setup.  Not every situation is ideal. This is the limitation being presented on this setup. I am certain you'll be the first in here to berate me if I dare to suggest I heard a difference adding the isolati...

@ozzy62  Maybe for you.  I don't see any bylaw that says I have to accept sarcasm and belittlement for asking questions, even if I don't like the answers.
