I use one row of these in between the DAC/ amp that's plenty for ventilation and serves the purpose for isolation as well as preventing scratching the top of the component, I've also found these work quite well under speakers in between their stands might not be doing anything but I read that speaker boxes that resonate should be allowed to do so on all of their sides including the bottom and it does seem to change the sound for the better probably the cheapest tweak at $4 a packet I've ever tried and happy with it.

I'm not sure where you read that speaker boxes should be able to resonate, as this is the hallmark of a poorly built cabinet. When I had cheaper speakers I would dismantle them and insert internal bracing to minimse this. But putting speakers on stands, pads, spikes, etc. are proven methods to improve the sound from the boxes. I'm pleased to hear that you feel that you have got your value from the Whites pads. Improving hifi performance doesn't always need to break the bank! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lycos Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Does anyone where can I get custom wooden rack for this size of amp? Most of hifi racks I've seen are for home theater amp and therefore too large for headphone amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make something yourself, if you are handy. I'm not sure the size of your amp, but you might be able to get a bamboo chopping block in an appropriate size from Ikea or Bunnings. If you find something too big at Bunnings they can cut it to size for you, then sand and put a couple of coats of polyurethane on it. Some furniture legs could be bought and cut down to size, or you might even be able to find door stops that are the right length that can be used as legs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikhuong Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) You can test and experience isolation solutions by yourself with a simple phone app Seimograph, it is not high sensitive for very high frequency pickup as lab equipment but can give u a good idea if isolation item works. an example that I run 31.5hz at high volume, you can see the difference on phone measurements between phone on floor (close to speaker) verus phone on hifi rack. Those example is not on the microphonic level but we can test a few things, especially in very low frequency range. The higher, the more sensitive equipment we need.
