Vibration control devices for EMM CDSA.

Are there good platforms, feet, or strange objects that go on top of the machine that are helpful?

I would be interested in something that is stable, as some of these things that consist of 3 pointy feet or spheres look kind of wobbly to me.

Totem Beaks have been mentioned, but I wondered what others have used. Oddly I notice when I lean on the player, it sounds a little better, with less ringing in the midrange on some CDs.

And I guess those who have found good devices with other players/transports are also welcome to make suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Solid Tech Feet Of Silence make a big difference, with no negatives. I also use a maple platform from Mapleshade below the Feet of Silence.

Damping always sounds bad to me.

The Marigo Audio TRi Mystery feet are the best I've used. You can audition a set for 30 days with a money back guarantee. Check out the reviews.

Heavy brass footers like the "fat bastards" that were made by Edensound an Agoner. I don't know if he still makes them. If you use the heavy footers on a platform that itself rests on viscoelastic foam or has dynamat affixed to it the dampening improves.
In addition you can use any heavy solid weight on top with similar effect. Mapleshade and Walker Audio makes Valid points and various brass pucks and such for the purpose.
I find that dampening actually has a very favorable effect on my gear. I have heard overdamped speakers however so I do know it can kill the sound if overdone.
With the various solutions available and the DIY aspect of it you can apply as much or as little as you need.
