Is it a good idea to do this, even for the seperate power supply too? I see some people doing it. Since isolation feet are cheap I figure why not?

Again, whether the result is positive or not depends on the product and system tuning. In a friend's system, any sort of footer, isolation platform, etc. under an Aero Capitale CD player made it sound dry and sterile. In fact, we considered removing the cone feet that come attached to the player (looks like a Black Diamond footer). |
