CD player vibration control ..................

solidsteel component rack. no effect from vibration control devices under my cd player.
Tried different things from Herbies....nothing.

get a good component rack and you won't need all this bs.

Bright Star Audio Reference Air Mass 3 on a PolyCrystal High Density shelf in a 2 shelf PolyCrystal stand.

All bs, of course.

Regards,

I second Ceraballs. They are quite amaizing.

cut up flip flops (I ain't lying)

Rigid objects do not provide any vibration isolation or damping. They merely change the natural frequency of the system they are used in and it could still fall within the audio band (usually does). Look at some *real* isolators online, they usually employ springs or elastomers.
