- Improved lower frequency absorber vs. the AB5000 or AB5000S series (@ < 1 GHz)
Good Absorbing Frequency Range
200 MHz - 10 GHz
Would there be a downside? Slightly more expensive.
What other areas did you find placement useful?
Thanks
John

I use SOtM eABS-100 for direct shielding of my DAC, DDC, USB-Card, LAN ports, Intel S1200KPR and ECC RAM. Especially shielding the MoBo and RAM made a very nice difference. For the case of my DAC, DDC and AudioPC i use 3M AB5100S.

EMI/RFI has 2 sources, internally and externally generated.
The sheets on top of the aluminum coolers will dampen external generated interference and hinder the coolers to cool to a good degree, but the sheet cannot dampen the reflections between memory and the coolers. Aluminum will not interfere magnetically but is a very good rfi reflector, so reflecting electrical fields back to the memory. On the other hand the distance of the reflection is very very small so it will stay in "phase" or there is almost no time smear. but it will add noise. ( all these things happen in the analogue domain of the carrier of digital information.)
The cooler has a function if you take it away you have to find out how hot it will become especially when the cooler is replaced by 3M 1mm EMI sheets, as they seem to isolate heat more, they are not good coolers. Since under-clocking the memory sound better, maybe under-voltaging it will take care of taking the coolers (heat spreaders) away
I am a bit too lazy to remove and try out for myself, so I kept the coolers in place
But to add a different method to hear 10x more transparency than EMI/RFI shields can bring try out Bybee small purifiers. They are reasonable cheap and a steal for what they do. I tried them and was shocked. Buy at least one and solder it beween the SPDIF in and the motherboard of yr DAC. In yr amps in the L+R input line and one in the HOT of power line The small Bybees can have >1000V but not more than 4A. The best but most expensive approach is the DIY speaker bullets they magnify the Bybee mods done in system They do not replace EMI shields but add to it.
