d) the use of Galvanic Isolation (GISO) may also assist when the above "prevention" methods are difficult

I agree that this is a very helpful and informative discussion, particularly for someone like me who has no background in these matters and who is currently evaluating the GISO.
As part of that evaluation it makes sense for me to try and address other issues that may be adding what the GISO appears to be filtering out.
My current setup consists of a BT router connected to an older version of the Apple Airport Extreme. My Sooloos equipment is connected to the latter via shielded cables and the Airport also provides wi-fi for the iPad Meridian app and for the rest of the household gadgets (desktop and personal computers, ipads).
Given a) above, would it be advisable in my setup to have a separate Switch just for the Sooloos equipment? How would this be connected up? If advisable, can someone please recommend a reasonably priced, quality Switch that does not itself add any nasties to Sooloos?

Many thanks.
