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.

You don't mention whether the cdp is isolated. Ultimately, that will provide a greater improvement than beanbags, linoleum tile or pucks on top. There are plenty of threads on Agon dealing with the various platforms, blocks, cones or other devices that will decouple your cdp from your stand. Once you've isolated the player you can move on to the next level of tweaking.
