Isolation Sand Boxes

I built some MDF sand boxes and filled them with 15 lbs of sand. Why do they make my CD player sound quieter?

Whether or not it is an improvement depends on how bad the previous support was. Now that you have discovered how important vibration control is, you will hopefully look at some alternatives to sand-boxes.

Personally, I believe you are right to try the #4s than the #3s, but my preference with BD Cones was 2 #4s and 1 #3. Another option, which is possibly better with a timber and MDF rack, is the large DH Cones, or the Walker Valid Points. But at that price you might be better to begin looking at a proper rack and the Neuance shelves. You ain't heard nothing till you have heard that.
