    OK, corks in.

    And out again.
    Not a patch on pukka springy things.
    Not very stable, either.

    Good to have a page where things don't cost, or are 'Flavor(sic) of the month'.
    Cork has its uses elsewhere.

    Happy listening.
    Chris.

    PG Wodehouse, as ever, put it well and succinctly...

    "... there is always something very restful about a duck. Whatever earthquakes and upheavals may be afflicting the general public, it stands aloof from them and just goes on being a duck".

    I do have another set of floaters on order, but I think the DAC might be too small and light. I will give it a try, though.
    The Plan was to try it under my Airlink balanced main supply.

    From what I've read power supplies gain much benefit from vibration isolation. In fact lots of folks reccomended to float those, second to speakers. I'm using black ravioli mk 1 and oak cones on mine but hoping to try bigger stack of ravioli.

    I've floated everything including my cisco network switch. Also on black ravioli and oak cones, as is my amp.

    I did my whole system in 1 go and liked the results. Might try some different stuff like these springs then I can stack my ravioli higher.

    You could experiment with some weight added to the top of your DAC. I think the loading is important with sprung devices.
