Isolation Feet for Laptop
@imhififan  Perhaps. I am still going to try it. IF it doesn't do anything significant, I have an NHT subwoofer that would be perfectly happy with them.

@ozzy62  I don't know, mostly because I work from home and I enjoy having a supreme reference system to listen to while I work. I have a main sound system with floor standing speakers and the whole 9 yards.  21st century?  Really?  That's why t...

@limomangus  I don't know, why don't you strap rockets to your shoes? Or maybe there are other ways to soothe your self-esteem rather than look to audio forums to address your personal problems.

@tomic601  Are you referring to Synergistic Research's Tranquility base?  
Isolation Feet for Laptop
@fuzztone  Ok, then what is the advantage of isolating DAC noise, or amplifier noise, or any noise? Why in the name of YHWY do people who spend $60,000 USD on stereo and speakers put isolation feet on all their equipment, including the stands? B...

@noske No offense intended, but sarcasm is difficult to discern in these forums. :) My laptop stand has perforations below for proper air flow. So, when I add the isolation, I do have to be mindful not to block vents.  If I find that there is ...

@lordrootman  Understood.  I am a believer, and I did do one test on my subwoofer which helped seal the deal for getting better cables for it.  Keep in mind this is purely rhetorical and only impacted this setup, so other people might have a dif...

@lordrootman  Ok, now that I have a baseline on what's going on, what are your thoughts on this idea. I want to get Synergistic Research's Reference Subwoofer cable. Since it is single RCA end-to-end, and they don't make a Y-Splitter, what if I ...

@lordrootman  Wow!  Excellent information!  Thank you!  Now it makes sense. :)

@erik_squires  The connection in this case is one shielded/grounded cable out of one of the Receiver's LFE channel to NHT  monoblock amps.  One is the MA-1A and the other is the Sw2p amp. Both behaved the same. Connecting to one RCA,  I had to cr...

@oldhvymec  Sorry, I am on Prednisone and it makes things a bit cloudy. :( Columns are something I can aspire to in my main system, but not in the office. It's powered bookshelf speakers with a single powered sub. I wanted to upgrade the cable f...

@carlsbad  Where is the other signal going? In this configuration, the signal path is being provided by a powered speaker. That speaker has left/right outputs.  They aren't specifically for bass; they're just RCA outputs.  Therefore, they would p...

@oldhvymec  Again, I clearly confused folks or folks aren't reading my entire post. My questions has nothing to do with LFE.  It was mentioned because I have two different setups and each is connected differently. One powered sub has two RCA in...
