| Do power supply units/cables make a difference in sound quality? As you can see, some say yes and some say no. The only way you can come to any conclusion is to try it yourself. Personally I found that some power conditioners can adversely effect SQ and that spending big bucks on power cable is a waste of money... | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 I Have an Aesthetix Calypso pre and can recommend the brand. Rogue is also worth consideration. | |

| Isolation Feet for Laptop For the cost of decent vibration feet, which as someone has pointed out , might not work, because the laptop is too light, you could almost buy a Bluesound Node, a basic but competent streamer/DAC. It would give you much better SQ than streaming f... |
