What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics?

John Darko the youtube reviewer has them on all his equipment. I see them on alot of people's electronics it's a tweak of some sort I just don't know what they are or what they do.

Thanks,
Steve

Brass weights with a thin cork or elastomer backing are sometimes used to reduce resonances from undamped metal chassis tops covering electronics. Some use them on top of speakers to drive cabinet resonances to a lower frequency or to damp flimsy/thin speaker cabinets.
