Headphoneus Supremus
It's absolutely essential for speakers. Speakers are affected by physical surroundings. Headphones aren't as much.

To get better audio the vibrations should be stopped completely. Put the component levitating on Magix and put books on top of the chassis to dampen the internal vibrations. |
