Hey Tony,
The weight on top of ER is..a weight! It's actually a stainless steel door stop that costs $15. Darko uses them for holding down components so they lie flat, and I do, too. The ER is upside down because of how the Shunyata Omega Ether cable is dressed; because the RJ45 ports on the ER and the SOtM are not in the same orientation (what's up with that, anyway?), when connecting the Omega Ether (which is fairly stiff) to them when they are both on the same shelf causes one component to want to "twist" or lift up. So, given where the SOtM is, and how the Ether cable runs when it's on the same shelf, it's just easier to flip ER upside down, and then the Ether cable actually dresses in a "horizontal" orientation, and then I use the doorstop to hold down ER down securely.

The ER is resting on Herbie's Audio Labs Tenderfeet, which work a treat! They're inexpensive (like $16/ea), and they really work, so they're perfect for applications like this. I'm also using an AfterDark Master Clock connected to ER (which is also resting on Tenderfeet), which was a revelation and a real bargain the performance upgrade it brings for the price. I'll take a pic of that and post it today.

Cheers.
