What are the circular discs people use on components?


I often see these Circular metallic discs people place on their components. What are they and what are they supposed to do? Are they magnets attempting to reduce noise and are these really necessary?

Interesting for sure. Does anyone have any advice as to the amount of weight one should use? I assume it’s more for heavy amplifiers and less for lighter components  

 

 

If you've got circular ring above your component, then you're probably not in this world anymore.

I hope the people who buy these remember to check the blinker fluid in their cars.

So basically the discs are pretty much worthless.

 

I still wish there would begin designing more racks that have casters. I use a customized rack made from steel that comes with casters, from anchor.  It's well-made extremely solid and was really quite reasonable pricewise.  i think it’s insane to put a 150 pound amplifier on a rack that does not move and requires two people to help out.

How cool it would be to design a lift for internal use that you could wheel around to move amplifiers and speakers. Like the lift they use on the back of a pick up truck when they quickly move Indy cars from the road when they crash but of course on a different scale and separated from a pick up truck.
