Isolation Sand Boxes

You will undoubtedly change the sound by putting a CD player on a sand-box. Whether or not it is an improvement depends on how bad the previous support was. Now that you have discovered how important vibration control is, you will hopefully look at some alternatives to sand-boxes.

Hey guys, a nice end to my hectic day! You guys crack me up :)
Thanks for all the comments. A 3/4" MDF platform sits on top of the sand. The sand box sits on a rack (lots of MDF and solid woods). I decided that I liked it better without the sand box... The sand box just sucked the life right out of the player! Kinda weird... I might try the BD cones, maybe #4's and some lead shot on top of the player.

Hi Buckingham. Yes the sand boxes do such the life out. Personally, I believe you are right to try the #4s than the #3s, but my preference with BD Cones was 2 #4s and 1 #3. Another option, which is possibly better with a timber and MDF rack, is the large DH Cones, or the Walker Valid Points. But at that price you might be better to begin looking at a proper rack and the Neuance shelves. You ain't heard nothing till you have heard that.

I agree that the CD player does not sound good on the sand box, the amps do though. Though the sandbox does work well (with digital) when used with BD racing cones or even much better the Walker Valid Points

So you're saying I should keep the sand boxes under it when I get the MK4's?
Interesting. Tweaking is fun.
