While I have no opinion on the effect of vibration dampening on digital audio, I would like to point out that you, Silent One, are being extremely condescending to those who have questions about your rig, and there is no need for you to be so.
 
While I have not heard your system and therefore have no right to comment on it, you have to admit that it is a point worthy of contention as the very fine points of audio hardware are quite subject to FUD. What could have been an opportunity to educate us on how and why it makes a difference, instead turned into you egging on the naysayers by being the type of person most people like to prove wrong.
 
We are all here for the same thing and we are all eager to learn more about our hobby. There is no need for such attitude on anyone's part.
 

 
As for my actual hardware, I may post later, but it is quite difficult to get a good shot because my room has very, very poor lighting, and as a result, makes everything inside of it unphotogenic.

One issue may be the fact that people would want him to educate every time he posts a picture of his rig. I vaguely remember him going fairly in depth one of the first times he posted it. 
 
At this point he'd have to write a lecture every time he posts in this thread. He's probably just gotten tired of defending it and become snarky. :D

Very tasteful first rig. Good stuff!


Thanks
 
My next project is getting a Turntable rig together in the next few weeks.

Sorry, this view isn't correct. Anyone care to read conversations from the beginning, as opposed to the latest posts? You'll see that I was patient and engaged any and everyone, despite this being a picture thread. I was polite at every turn, even after the original antagonist suggested that I didn't understand computers and computer audio. Or what the heck I was doing.
 
We can agree to disagree but I take exception to being portrayed as condescending. 
 
FURTHER Comments anyone? Please PM me. This invite was kindly expressed earlier as well...
 
Kind Regards,
 
S.O.

You deserve the praise. That's super cool. I'm going to copy the $hit out of that for my office! I hope you don't mind...

Nah, I don't mind at all. I am wondering if it is funner to see the stand being used for HP, or emptying the bottle to get the stand.. I just might have to start a big collection of headphones, just so I can get more stands.....=P

I really don't feel that Silent One has been condescending. People are questioning his dampening, and he's answering each and every one of them. S.O. has to defend his setup, and to put real soul behind any argument, you have to truly believe in your side. He certainly does :p Also, being rude isn't an effective way to stop snobbishness. Let's get back to sharing rig pics.
