Isolation Feet for Laptop
@britamerican Thanks,  I can always count on such sarcasm.  I have decided to chalk such behavior down as, "I don't know the answer either and it upsets me. So to compensate, I have to be rude and sarcastic to make myself feel better." Have a Lov... 
Isolation Feet for Laptop
@britamerican Not really. I can only surmise. The module completes a circuit. It is common to place resisters behind an LED so that the LED doesn't burn out. Except that it isn't normal to use hi-fi Audio specific resisters. Accepting that a resis... 
Isolation Feet for Laptop
I am reviving this dead thread with an update on some things and ask a electrical design question. So, it turned out that the Tranquilty Basik came with "feet" designed to mitigate vibration.  It also turned out that the Twonshend Air Platform wo... 
Fun With Cable Risers
I guess folks ran out of folks to berate, so started digging around for more victims. I have always found it hilarious that people theorize something can't work, so just assume they have to be right. They've never tried it and they're too afraid ... 
Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player
UPDATE: Alright, so I am going to close out this thread or at least my responses to it as it's just turning into another hate-fest. I was able to figure out the problem and I canceled the SR RMA. Thanks for everyone's genuine help.  
Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player
@kellydc3 I find it more amazing that folks such as yourself are incapable of helping anyone without first insulting them. "but, but, but, I didn't insult you!" Oh but you did, good sir: " Improper application of a product is not the product's fa... 
Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player
@mulveling "It reads like someone who's being supplied SR products specifically to complain about them." Yeah, typical aggressive audiophile-ism. When someone doesn't 110% agree with what a person has been told, they have to find some other way to... 
Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player
@kellydc3 So, you know that there DOESN’T NEED to be a physical difference for the phono cable; not for MY equipment. So, I am "carping" that I was NOT using improper cable. You all seem to just be defending Synergistic Research rather than dare a... 
Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player
@enzo2016  Well buddy, I have given them plenty of opportunity to fix issues with their cables/products and they don't ALWAYS offer the best customer service. They've burned me more than once.  As a result, I tried to get answers elsewhere, like h... 
Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player
@enzo2016 OR....I use a different manufacture's cable and solve the problem.  Interesting how that works.  Everyone's "comments" seem to suggest that the IC line simply isn't well shielded. If that's true then they are susceptible to massive EMI i... 
Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player
@kellydc3  Analog is analog.  The "phono" specific Foundation cables have 100% the exact same physical specifications and cable design as the IC line.  The only difference is that the phono line has grounding cables that are attached to the shiel... 
Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player
@klh007 "today turntables sometimes come with RCA outputs but that does not mean you can just plug in a normal IC and expect proper performance transferring the low level output from a phono cartridge, you must use a properly shielded cable." I mi... 
Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player
@jasonbourne71 Yeah...I have been greatly disappointed in their products as of late. This is the 2nd major failure for me.  I already replaced 90% of the SR products in my system from their last FUBAR. :( Their customer service is hit or miss.  So... 
Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player
@jetter Ah, I see.  Looking at their site, the only difference in the spec isn't actually listed, it's shown visually.  The cable itself has a ground spade wire coming off it. It sort of reveals a lack of cable design in their regular IC RCA cabl... 
Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners
I am using the Venom V16 Power Conditioner with their Alpha XC cable and it's incredible.  That's at their low-middle range.  I can only imagine the benefits at their higher range, especially with the more advanced filtering tech they use. I don'...
