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.

Put something heavy and that will pour like sand in a zip lock bag. Then put that into a second bag in case you get a leak. Can't get much cheaper than that.

agree w/ Herman!
what I have is a 12"X12" marble tile from Home Depot sitting on a sheet of cork. Can use granite-over-cork too. However, both are more expensive than sand in a ziploc bag.

i made one years ago by getting an old cigar box, filling it with shot and sand, then sealing it with glue. it works very well and never leaked.

Try scuba weight-belt weights. The two types I prefer are the loose lead in sealed bags or the solid lead that have a rubber-like coating. They are cheap and effective and I can't see that there is much difference between them and the audiophile stuff that costs much more.
