Anybody want a laugh?
Works great. Reduces noise. Others on the market as well. Similar in concept to the devices that came around a few years ago for cleaning up USB signal. Not magic. It’s what the circuitry is designed to do. Flat-earthers can’t wrap their head arou... 
Recommendations for power amp placement/dampening

Flexible/Compliant Speaker Cables

Auralic Vega 1 vs Auralic Vega 2/2.1

Where would you place Symposium Rollerblocks for best results on digital equipment?
I used a small diameter partially inflated bicyle tube, then a bamboo board on top of this large enough to place the equipment, then put the rollerballs on top of the bamboo, and the equipment on the rollerballs. X Y and Z all covered. But of cour...
