Footers - isolation or resonance draining

Aball and Ckorody--very good primer on footers.

since all components resonate, i find tuning, the best approach. thus, through trial and error, i use devices under and over a component to adjust the resonant frequency of a component until it no longer bothers me.

i favor soft objects, such as furniture foam and sound fusion sound boosters.

embrace coloration and use it to your advantage--production, not reproduction.

Thank you all for your responses. Very informative.

My BDP is shelved on a SounDesign rack wich has 5/8" MDF shelves. I have two 5 shelf racks and am using only 6 out of the 10 shelves. So I put one of the shelves under my Parasound pre (which is in my PC system)which is atop an ordinary wood furniture side table. I think I'm gonna put 3 of those cork/vinyl squares between the MDF and the table top.

I wanna try some Vibrapods under the BDP. Currently its sitting on 3 upside down 1.5" diameter furniture gliders (ceramic and rubber - probably not level)Also, I'll take a look/see at Lowes for some weight to put on top.

I wonder if putting a couple of clamps on the sides of the BDP would do anything? It plays great but has a flimsy build. Well, it was a birthday present.

Try some Blutack or equivalent between two of the shelves since you are not using all of them and use them together and see if it helps. See the Star Sound site for their view on the first alternative you list.
