Thanks for your suggestions Dave_D_S_J_R_ wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 3:52 pm A little bit of truth, a little bit of foo.....
May I suggest you use the rubber bump-ons at the back of the board, one on each corner. These newer slightly taller feet should be fine and keep the board fairly level. A dab of Bison on the domed part of the feet (so you can remove them if necessary) will be just enough to anchor the feet and the rear of the board in place, and it's not as permanent as Superglue as you're not going to ship these boards all over
The 'foo' part is that the feet are slightly flexible and may offer some vibration support - all very well raving about Black ravioli feet, but if amps are so sensitive to isolation so you 'hear' the effects, it should be possible by subtraction to isolate the effect if it's really there I'd have thought...
What are you using for the audio connections to the RCA sockets?
How about a small length of TIS ? And a small length of TSCS to the speaker outlets?
It will be open to the elements initially - no case. But eventually it will get built in to a wooden structure with no metal except heat sinks. Think of deep sideboard furniture with the sound system built inside it
