Mass and vibration cancelling on top of CD player?
What I meant was, in a sarcastic way of speaking, that most people would probably be inclined to say that level of the transport/disc is not critical since any unnecessary motion of the disc due to its non level condition during play or any other ... 
has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak
The fact that the (3, one assumes) black diamonds are used on the underside of Walker's record clamp suggests that vibration control is the mechanism, at least for the record clamp, perhaps for the cartridge, too. The fact that folks use crystals ...

So, what is it, exactly, a piece off a 1950s Chrysler tail light? 
'80s vinyl sound like CDs?

Mass and vibration cancelling on top of CD player?
Making the chassis rigid doesn't prevent the disc from vibrating, which in and if itself is not too good for the sound. One way to ameliorate disc vibration and flutter is to obtain absolute level of the disc while spinning. Not as easy as it sounds.

Where can one obtain Hitachi Finemet beads? Are they the same as Finemet Cores? 
Mass and vibration cancelling on top of CD player?
The VPI brick is an electromagnetic device. Roxy54, I have a sneaking suspicion Rja was pulling your leg.
