Spray or brush on material for inside sheet metal?


I just purchased a very nice early 90's 4/dac Technics CDP (SLP-50S) which sounds very nice but I would like to add a damping substance to the inside of the very thin sheet metal cover. Is there something out there which will adhere to the metal (add weight/isolation) and possibly improve the sonics? I've never even thought of doing this to other cdp's, but this one has so much potential for improvement I'd thought I'd ask for your opinions. (BTW, changed the stock ac chord (20-24ga.)w/
a Radio Shack 18ga. ac chord ($2.99) and the difference was noticeable.) Thanks, Bill

Just out of curiosity, why are you wanting to dampen the inside of the chasis instead of doing it from the outside? Have you tried mass loading the the top with something like a Bright Star Audio Little Rock? I use a Bright Star Little Rock 2 on top of my CDP, it weighs about 27-28 pounds. I ran across a post on time where a guy took a cigar box and filled it with pennies and used that to mass load his CDP. I was just wondering if you have tried anything like this yet. If you want to do the inside, check out a company called Cascade Engineering, I've seen some of their products used in cars. They might have something that will do what you want.

BTW, if you want to try a really great power cable, try one by Virtual Image. You can read some of my posts about V.I.'s cables here on Audiogon.
