Damping Top of CDP


I just got a Music Hall CD25.2 for a second stereo system. With my other player, a Sony 222ES, I got a significant sound improvement by sticking a Bright Star Audio Little Rock 5 on top. I was thinking of doing the same for the Music Hall but wanted to consider less expensive alternatives.

Are those 3M sheets any good? How about that gel filled bag (Gutwire?) they sell at Music Direct? Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Marco is right, the effectiveness of snack foods can't be underestimated when applied to audio component isolation and vibration control. I thread my interconnects through Hostess DogNutz® and place them wherever my cables might contact a wall or a power cable. Very effective at preventing unwanted vibration from entering my system and sweetens the sound too.

Marco fails to mention that the reason his Pet Isolator is so effective is because he's implemented the über high end Diesel™ upgrade.
Clio09: Have you ever read Pierre Sprey's sales spiel for "his" Mapleshade Iso-Blocks? He states that he "designed" the Iso-Blocks, which are nothing more than Wagner 2" and 4" mounting blocks, used by heating/colling (HVAC) contractors underneath furnaces.

But Pierre designed and developed them ... yeah right!

Jack,

Yes I heard that. I paid $10 for a set of 4. I can't remember what Mapleshade charges, but I thought it was $10 each. If you listen to Pierre you'd think he'd developed everything but the toaster.
