I was thinking of repackaging and selling some hockey pucks from the sporting goods store after "tuning" them by ear for audio. Nah, too much work. I'll just repackage them. ;-)
On a more serious note, I have used hockey pucks to tilt my tower speakers back slightly. Depending on how I'm seated they sound better that way. The hockey pucks work!
I bought a bunch of generic "ISO Blocks" on the cheap from Audiogon several years ago but they still cost much more than .29 each. Darn, and I thought I got a good deal on 'em!

My scraped hardwood floors and those pointy footers do not get along.

Abe;I agree. Tuning hockey pucks by footprint and physical makeup to exactly those vertcal, horizontal, and torsional resonant frequencies that provide the best sonic isolation for each individual component platform would be a arduous task - I would let this one pass as well.
That was a joke.
Just a thought, but maybe we could could corner the market on NHL game used pucks. You could make your pitch to the Avalanche, and I to the Wild. Certainly we could spin that NHL game used pucks have certain sonic advantages over run of the mill pucks......

In my case, I found said pucks on the "take it or leave it"/swap pile table at the Harvard, MA town dump.
Excellent price/performance ratio.

My hockey pucks are standing on ISO pads, and still points.
