Forgot to mention my power conditioners
a) 2 sets of Blue Circle BC86 MKIII Noisehounds
These are parallel noise filters, but probably suck more noise than the gimmicky PSAudio Noise harvester (a recent Stereotime review commented they need 5 sets of harvesters to hear an audible difference)
b) BPT Purepower Centre powerstrips with Bybee..
c) Magnet Isolation Transformer(a cheap made-in Thailand brand that apparently OEMs for Monster) just to feed the DAC and transport. Will upgrade to a Japanese brand Balanced Isolation transformer in future once my local distributor brings it in. Namely the CSE TX series

Rack/Footers
a) Finite Elemente Signature on Cerabase Footers
b) Taoc Tite 35S SuperInsulator footer on the Transport

c) Boston Audio Tuneblocks on the DAC

Pubul57, IsoClean's main claim is their isolation transformers and filter boxes. I have a picture of mine which are for sale, if you want to see what they look like or check out aaudioimports.com.

Hotbird, and I thought I was a tweaker. I have heard very favorable comments from a guy in NC about the Quartz Resonators or insulators. I don't recall which, but he puts them on transformers. I may try a bag of six I believe. It sounds like you are under the influence of Joe P. He has some great stuff. We will just have to agree to differ about the Bybees.

Tbg, those IsoCleans sure look well built, but I struggled before I could get myself to pay $1600 for the RSAs. Now I did see an IsoClean item I might be able to afford, namely those $25 fuses - have you tried them in your AAs?

Pubul57, Yes the IsoCleans probably are overbuilt. Yes, I use the fuses in my AA dac and transport. I have compared the IsoClean and the HiFi fuses and found the IsoCleans are superior even trying the HiFis both directions to find their directionality. But this is another subject.

Finally tried the IsoClean fuses, to me the system sounded different, and since I paid $50 better. Could these things possibly lower the noise floor? Well, certainly worth a try as a tweak.
