RE: Acoustic noise is the problem... Not electrical...

I tend to agree with some of what you said.

I posted mainly for our audiophile population that have strong religious convictions about hard disks and computers not belonging in the listening room. They should have a closer look inside their very high-end 'audiophile grade' music servers to see what they consist of.

I gave two examples in my post of music servers that contain industry standard mini-ITX computer motherboard running the Linux OS, and some that may also include hard disk drives.

Before the days of SSDs I ran nearly inaudible 5400 rpm 2.5" laptop style disk drives. That coupled with 'memory play' meant that the disk drives didn't 'seek' during music playback.
