low tech rubber tweaks


I read a post by Jejaudio in which he described a technique he uses with some success:
"I went to the hardware store. Strolling down the plumbing aisle there it was...A simple Sillcock Handle(round, out side faucet handle)
Combine this with 1\2 round chromium steel balls grade 25. That's 7 balls per handle 6 under the faucet handle, one on top. This one ball is the one that will be touching your unit. I use 3 faucet handles per device. That's 21 balls per units. The 1\2 balls fit in the slots on the faucet handle perfectly."

now don't laugh...but my question is...if rubber helps to eliminated the vibrations which would work better
1) hockey puck on bottom, vibrapod on top of that, superball on top of that?
2) Jejaudio's idea substituted with superballs?

I plan on getting a bunch of superballs, hockepucks and faucets thingers and trying this all out for myself for the fun of it:)
just wondering if you had any predictions!

Can you turn the faucet one way for a warmer sound and the other way for cooler?
I just use a whole bunch of wine corks between my 4' speakers that lay on their sides because they are the two-channel 'front end' of my home theater. If they were sitting upright, it would block my screen.

The wine corks eliminate vibration to the hardwood floors.
Unclejeff: You're not fooling anyone if you say that you just bought the bottled wine to get the corks. The vibrations to the floor are still there, but you just can't tell anymore : ) Sean

Actually Sean, the vibrations do drop to the point that I can't detect them anymore.

I never said I buy wine for the corks---although, as I re-read my post, I can't help but be grateful that you didn't pick-up on the fact that I lay my 4' high speakers on their sides---commenting that they might start to look more familiar, normal that is, as the evening progresses........
