Where does one place AQ sorbogel feet?

I got 3 AQ sorbogel Big feet. These are supposed to reduce mechanical vibration by absorbing energy and releasing it as negligable heat. My question is where under the cdp or amp do I put them. Everyone seems to use them in threes and there are 4 feet. Do I place 2 on the insides of the front feet and 1 between the back feet? Does the flat side face down or up? What do I use to protect cdp and contact points (theyre sticky)? Anyone have experience with these and how do they sound? Thanks in advance!

My experience with htese has been only favorable. I have 4 placed under my turntable and 4 under my CDp. I use them with the flat side up and use the teflon pucks that come with them between the rounded end and the surface beneath.
I have never tried 3 since 4 has yeilded such good results.
I attest that the turntable does not skip at all and with out I cannot walk with a natural gape in the vicinity of the table. I would recommend using all 4 first and then experiment with 3. As far as the surface on the underside of the component I had some 1/2 glass cut at my local glass shop. I had the match the measurments of the component. Then I place the component on the glass then the glass on the AQ feet. This has worked for years, good luck.

I put them in a drawer! Under my old tt they helped a bit, but now that I'm running pure Redbook I found that Neuance iso/absorb shelves VASTLY more coherent, with much tighter bass and "continuousness", if you will.
