Thanks Elizabeth :-)
I'm still a little confused about the install. I think I'll start with my dac; do I place a square piece of cardboard equal to the size of the dac o. Top of the board? Is it okay just resting thdre on top? And then just place the foam on top of the cardboard? Or is it better to have it form fitting and squished a little bit and placed against the cover? And how do I ground the baggies or foam to the chasis? If the foam is touching, and form fitted to, say the cover, would that ground the foam to the chasis?
Thanks for your help! I'm really trying to chase down the inexpensive tweaks now that I've got all the expensive ones out of the way ;-)
I'm going to purchase one of the croyed hubble outlets that you suggested in another thread too! Are the 20 amp versions okay even though it's going in a 15 amp outlet (?) as long as I don't hook anything rated at 20 amps into it?
Mofi, I'm suprised you haven't encountered static in the dry cold climate of Colorado. Everyone I know has crazy smounts of static in there homes, shoot, even in our cars. I've gotten out of a car and shocked myself so bad that it felt like someone pricked my finger with a needle!
And I did think that anti static foam was for static, not rfi, but hey, if it helps the sound and it's under $50, why not give it a try. In my oppinion, Elizabeth is one of the most respected philes around here and if it works for her I'm game for giving it a try.
