high frequency intermittent noise
PS Audio Noise Harvesters' lights do not correspond to when the noise appears, so they are not sensing it.

@erik_squires I unplugged my AV system completely, cable modem included.  It was all off and unplugged.  No affect.  Thanks for the pointer to Furman, I'll check them out.

This noise comes and goes apparently at random.  I can go 15 to 20 minutes with out it presenting itself.  Other times during high activity, it will last for 15 to 20 minutes at a time with shorter breaks.  Early mornings it's very infrequent if n...

Speakers: Isolation?
@dhpeck Thank you for the kind words.  My system is a work-in-progress.@toddverrone Yes, there was one occasion where I almost tipped one of my speakers over, but I saved the day on that occasion. 
Speakers: Isolation?
The heavier the speaker, the more inert it will be on top of Rollerblocks.  Have a look at my system, you will see I am using Rollerblocks double-stacked.  You just have to be careful when in the vicinity of the speakers.  Keep in mind, Rollerbloc...

Soundstage and explosive dynamics?
What you are looking for may be a larger speaker rather than smaller.  I am loving the dynamic shading I get from the Klipsch Cornwall speakers.  Very hard to beat for the money. 
Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable!
If you are considering Symposium products (any) I would suggest you give Peter a call at Symposium, their products all complement each other and are part of a 'system' of vibration control.  I started with 1 component a long time ago, and now I us...
