Isolation Feet for Laptop
@guakus  I had a Mac laptop as server. I ran an Audioquest Jitterbug and iFi USB Silencer in parallel. Had Black Ravioli Pads underneath. Used a Halide Bridge USB to coaxial reclocker. Drove that with an Aqvox USB power supply. Was going to use... 
Ridiculous resale price of vintage equiment
I find with the current climate of high rents and house prices as well as job losses due to Covid, people are trying to sell equipment way beyond its worth.   Found a guy trying to sell a 1988 NAD 7020e tuner/amp for $580. Seen many examples of...

@antigrunge2  I’m interested in that Opal...  
Any tweaks I'm missing?
@cdc  I liked the sound of my system. Most of the 'tweak' additions have added to this, without a doubt. I think it sounds good. I've added many items, yet to put them together though, which in effect has changed my system. The only things that ...

Japan purchases
Yahoo Japan worked very well for me. Shipped quickly. No sucking at all.  
Any tweaks I'm missing?
@cdc Thanks for your ideas. 1-5 I don’t listen to CDs much any more. The Auric Illuminator was something I considered though. 6. I have shielding on my Dac and streamer. Will investigate where else I can use this. 7. Speaker cables are in-wal... 
Budget DAC recommendation for Office system
What sort of budget?  
Japan purchases
Had a look again at how Yahoo Japan auctions work. You have to preload money onto your account, more than your bid amount (including Paypal fee). Money can be refunded, although you do not get the Paypal fee returned. With the two items I won (m... 
Any tweaks I'm missing?
@cdc  What are some of your tweaks?  
Anyone using a LAN isolator?
@tump350  You're like me with additions (if they come in at the same time). Can be hard to know what effect each individual item has. When I get my system running again I will be evaluating; new streamer, ethernet cables, modded network switch, ...
