And what is this glued on the board, is it an anti-vibration sticker?
This is interesting because if this is the case, then you can stick it on many electrical parts inside. Where can you buy? Do our friends in the ALI store sell such tapes?

That “sticker” as you call it is the same material as those dots on the caps. It is fo.Q T-102, made and sold only from Japan. Can be purchased from eBay or Amazon, or high end audio stores for more money. Comes as two sheets in a package and priced around $60. In my humble opinion one of the best bang for the $ audio tweak money can buy.

Its a very powerful dampener. Its also slightly conductive.

It has the ability to convert mechanical vibration to electricity then heat. Its similar to sorbothane which also converts mechanical vibration, but directly to heat. But it works better than sorbothane and a small piece of fo.q tape is much more effective than the same size piece of sorbothane. If I had to guess, I'd say its at least 10x more effective by volume.

So far I have not seen any sellers on aliexpress be able to copy this, it'd be nice if there were something as its quite expensive.

I agree with Doug except for $60 the value to midfi and up systems is extremely high. So to me not expensive.

Received the $36 15 core valhalla power cable today.

This thing is massive and feels like it weighs close to 10lbs. Its as thick as my thumb.

Any impression? comparison with other Odin 2 or Odin Gold?

I'm burning it in on my lps right now.

Maybe in a week or two I'll test it out on my new audio-gd dac, that thing is so resolving and detailed, I should be able to pinpoint any strengths or weaknesses with an A/B comparison.

If you detach the center pin otherwise it is a shorting plug. Cannot attach any vibration control material though.

It seems I somehow got the rounded RCA caps vs. yours which are flat, even though I used the Amazon link recommended here. I'm thinking I can still apply a small bit putty on the end of these anyway, maybe still for some benefit.

For the fo.Q T-102 (putty), is this a good deal?

T-102 is not pliable so cannot be used on those caps. There is a listing advertised in the link you provided for $55 shipped.

When you get the T-102 or T-32 let me know and I will share with you where and how I use it.

New toys in today. Audiocrast isolation footers.

And got this neat little 3 tier bamboo shoe rack for $33 off Amazon to hold some devices, fits like a glove right under my desk.

Nice. I am waiting for toys/parts to try out this grounding box theory.

Very very tidy indeed, and thank God you’ve placed the isolation footers properly, I’ve never understood why some users place them directly underneath the stock footers of any component, where they’re the least effective.

Way to go once again young man.

Any sound differences with the isolation footers?

Maybe a minor difference, I can't really tell because my dac is burning right now.

My pre built box should be here in a few days...

Cool, which one did you get? I will be able to do some tests today.

I got it with banana plug for the ground post on the power conditioner. He wouldn't tell me what was in it tho, only the weight... 3.7 KG...I guess I'm taking a chance but that's what this forum is all about, right?
