Isolation makes no difference to the sound in the real world (turntables excluded for obvious reasons). It might do in a dedicated listening room or in a lab, but in the real world its just not worth it. The differences if any are so minute that they are not worth striving for. I've been there with my audiophile hifi which i've slimmed down to just amps speakers and a squeezebox. All the expensive cables, CD transport and DAC, milimetere perfect positioned speakers and accoustic damping have bit the dust. Some of the things we audiophiles do to try and improve the sound quality is crazy, and when you find yourself testing music between different cables, or blue-tac under the speakers vs £150 titanium cones, desperately trying to detect a difference, well it smacks of psychological instabillity to me. I decided to listen to the music intead of being obsessed by sound quality. When it comes down to it, audio equipment doesnt need tuning, its great out of the box. Just find a setup you like the sound of and get on with enjoying your music.
