Tweakers Advice Sought. Antivibration.

Hi Gents. Which components are most important to isolate from microvibrations? This is for my weekend house system which is: Apple TV feeding Arcam BlackBox DAC via optical, Blackbox to Yamaha RX-A3000 being used as preamp, which feeds a Classe CAV 75 amplifier. If I have only 1 set of antivibration pads, which component should I use them on for the best tweak? thank you.

Best you do them all, and use only 'moongel', which is used by drummers to damping vibrations. Low cost, and very effective.

I find all components benefit from anti vibration devices.

the source components, especially digital. should benefit the most.

I find the ps audio powerbase, very effective.
