What's under YOUR CD player?

CDP sets on Aurios 1.2 with bearing on top. Use Mapleshade brass heavyhats for tuning top of CDP.

Still toying with the idea of floating entire audio rack on top of Aurios.

The Sistrum approach is interesting giving you in effect a two pointed cone. Several companies are catching on now and offering the triple point cone to reduce surface contact.

I do own some large triple point brass cones and they work very well.

until last night i didn't believe that putting something under the Cd player will iprove the sound...i tried sand, bike innertubes, cones, etc...well, last night a friend of mine that makes a lot of covers for turntables made me a platform supported by air...yes, air!...this thing is made out of two plexiglass sheets with a proprietary suspension between them that creates this cushion of air...the bass became more tight (it was kinda boomy before), quieter background...i wasn't imagining...i had 3 other friends over and we all heard the same thing...i guess, these things work...but, as i said at the beginning, i've never heard a difference between cones, sand bags, innertubes and nothing else but the shelf...until last night...this thing is amazing...

I put a turntable on the shelf above my CD player. Improved the sound of my system immensely. The best sound is achieved with the the CD player turned off.

Right now, my Levinson 37 transport and 360S DAC sit on a regular ol' MDF shelf. I bought two Townshend Seismic Sinks for them, but the Sinks shifted music to such an analytic character that it almost made my ears bleed. Fortunately, the Sinks worked very well under tube pre-amp and amp.

I've also tried Vibrapods and thick Maple slabs to no avail. The Levinson components are heavy (35 lbs? each) and have rather specialized looking accordian shaped rubber and metal feet. I'm slowly coming to the realization that the stock footers control vibrations quite well. I'll continue to try other stuff though;>). Cheers. Craig
