For streaming I use a Fritzbox 5590 fiber router.
A plastic and lightweight thingie.
Currently I use Stillpoints Ultra 2 which are made for heavier components, on an older Stillpoints ESS rack, a Neodio B2 (not much effect) on top.
What are your preferred footers for such components?
...perhaps not universally loved by hi-end users, but I have, and have used, various Herbies Audio Lab products under light and medium-weight products:
Vacuum tubes are not the only components that suffer from distortions caused by microphonic vibrations. Capacitors and other electronics produce distorted signals in the presence of vibrations, adding fuzz, glare, sibilance, and other anomalies to the musical signal. Micro-electronic devices and...
