A nice PC upgrade


I just added a maple shades platform (4 inches) under my PC (with the iso blocks and brass footers). I really did it because I had some money burning the usual hole and figured worse case, it gets the puter off the floor and less dust to blow out every other month Well, when I sat in front of the speakers, no kidding... I can hear deeper into the music. Deeper soundstage and wider in the back and even a bit more air around the instruments and vocals. Really glad I can cross this one off as I have been eyeing it for a while know. Your milage may vary but strongly suggest not overlooking isolating the noisey beast.

Are you sure the difference isn't due to the lower seating position you now have from taking all the money out of your pocket to buy this collection of brass and butcher blocks for your PC?
It's a custom gateway, intel quad core, 16 gigs ram. PCI sound card and three internal 10,000 rpm drives. 10 meter apogee spdif cable ifrom pc (in next room) and into esoteric G25u clock/upsampler and into esoteric k03sacdplayer for dac. Jrivrr19 and I'm pinching myself.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
Where did the PC use to sit before? From the quote above it could be on the floor and that would kill this hypothesis: could it be you have now taken a vibrating device off a shelf where you have other sensitive equipment? That PC must be vibrating a fair amount, with 3 HDD and a fan or two.
My PC was previously under the desk in the office, on an oak wood board with 8 symposium fat pads under it. Replaced the oak board and symposium with the mapleshade system. There is definitely something to it. Computers are definitely the noisest place in the world.
