Damping Top of CDP

I'd try a side of beef wrapped in butcher's paper. Fleshes out all the inner detail you can handle. In a month's time you'll have a kinetic audio sculpture, and the movement of the maggots will act to stabilize those nasty vibrations even further still. The magic "indicator-bone" lets you know it's time to replace it with another. If you can't spring for a good side of beef then my second choice would be some rolled up sod from the garden-supply store. I don't recommend pulling another bolt off the Golden Gate Bridge as my green buddy, The Gumbilator, suggests. I got mine pre Patriot-Act. You get caught wrenchin' out one of those puppies these days and your family will be relocated to Downtown, Buttfukt while they erase all their memories of you with a Dremel Tool. Believe me, premature ejaculation, hair loss and your consumer credit rating will cease to be your primary concerns, Keemosabee! Now if you're talking Brooklyn Bridge, well now, I can part with a little piece of that given the right price!

You don't mention whether the cdp is isolated. Ultimately, that will provide a greater improvement than beanbags, linoleum tile or pucks on top. There are plenty of threads on Agon dealing with the various platforms, blocks, cones or other devices that will decouple your cdp from your stand. Once you've isolated the player you can move on to the next level of tweaking.

leave the Brooklyn Bridge alone, I cross it when I go to work every day. I like the beef vibration control solution better. I may actually try it some day. Jax2 what do you recommend as acoustic room treatment I wonder....

Jax2 what do you recommend as acoustic room
treatment I wonder....

I use small children and house pets. If you live in a 'family-oriented'
neighborhood like me, they can frequently be found wandering the streets,
and/or on their way to or from school. I've been encouraged by fellow
audiophiles who've listened in my room to start selling my line of manacles
and gags for just that purpose. Ought'a put that Rives fellow right outta'
business if I ever do. Well, I guess you can still use their PARC device to
position the little rugrats! It's kind of expensive keeping the whole system
fed and maintained, but let me tell you, once you hear it you'll never want to
go back to 'pedestrian' room treatments. You need to get'em between 8-10
years old for optimum performance. Once they get older you just dump here
on the Gon' to some unsuspecting geek who doesn't know better. Oh, and
don't forget to cut air holes in those shipping boxes, and throw in a couple of
Twinkies™ if it's going to be more than a couple of days in transit. If you
have a bigger room the fat ones will serve you better, but are more expensive
to feed and keep. Cats hung up in the corners of the room make great bass-
busters, but make sure to take em down to use the litterbox on a regular
basis or you'll be sorry. Oh, and be patient on this stuff if you decide to try it
out; the break-in period is a killer! I'd recommend going on vacation and
leave the feeding and maintenance to a good friend or neighbor who won't
report you to the local authorities. Regardless, give it a good month before
you settle in and enjoy the new room!

PS I was born and raised in Brooklyn Heights. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Marco, I figured that you would throw some good ideas around :)
