I sold some vintage gear on the web last week, and have some bubble wraps left over. So, I decided to fold each one 3 times and made 4 squares (3" x 3"). I placed them under my CD player's feet and under the bottom panel. I pulled out my favorite CD which I probably know best which is Amused to Death, Mastersound Album Classics Limited Edition 24 karat disc. Before I got to track 12 which is Three Wishes, it skipped 4 times. Then on track 12, Genie came on "hey boy whats whappening... what is going on.......... you can have 3 wishes.....if you dont take too long....." Bubble wraps made it skip 6 times before Genie disappeared. At that point, I was so frustrated I wanted to pop them one by one like a Xmas morning. I did place 5 lb weigh on top of my player and did help, but it still chirped once in awhile.

I still come across some articles suggesting to place inflated bicycle tubes under TT and CDP. BullSh$t is what that is. Not as bad as bubble wraps due to size consistancy. If TT and CDP weigh in over 30lbs bubbles and tubes might be okay. But in general, something of that size/quality no one should try to improve sound with 2 dollars worth of household items.

Metal cones and brass screws are the only way for me at this stage.
