In Reply to: RE: Damping the Foating CDP Laser-Track Tray posted by Dryginger2 on February 18, 2015 at 16:34:22
I’ve had GB Duct Seal on the plastic support over the CD tray and the interior sides of the CDP (Oppo 980H) for several weeks now. Much quieter back ground with a increase in clarity and dynamics. The tray was painted last year with paint pens (green, orange and blue) revealing more detail and clarity.

Pixelphoto,
You see all those multi-wire connectors going to and between circuit boards in your pictures. I have found that disconnecting one end and twisting them a time or two more before re-connecting them again (as well as further twisting other pairs/ fours) audibly increases the access to musical detail from my Denon CDP/DVD 2910.

Very nice! DG
Hi DG, I'll try your suggestion on the Sony DVP-S7700 I just received from Bay. I sold the Oppo 980H; the one you see in the pict.
Ditto Pixel.
Nice work. I have used DynaMat Extreme constrained layer material to do pretty much the same areas as you have done. It is tricky however as it is NOT removable after being placed. One can use more than 1 layer as thought necessary. It is designed and engineered to reduce vibrations (frequencies), usually the lower ones. Seems I saw a "shoot out" of sorts of different materials and brands thereof some time ago, likely for high end Auto. HiFi applications.

More sweet pics!
Pixelphoto,
Thank you for the excellent pictures. Did you compare GB Duct Seal to Rope Caulk?
DG
That was my intention but the dumb asses at the big boxes had know idea of what I was talking about. I've used rope caulk before and did want to compare. I feel lucky I found the GB Duct Seal. At any rate its working at its unintended job. A great tweak!
Pixelphoto,
Rope Caulk is an 'Ace' product and any of their hardware stores will stock it if you have one anywhere near you and want to acquire some in the future. It's easier to work with than the denser GB Duct Seal which stays rather too messily stuck down to the hands and everything else. It's indeed fun to make a big improvement for little money almost by accident sometimes...
DG
Thanks for the info DG. Ace Hardware it is. I'll get some and stow it in my official "Tweaker Kit".
Pixelphoto,
Have just been reminded what a distinct improvement to sound quality results (at least with the Denon CD/DVD 2910 and presumably other universal players) from selecting the 'CD' rather than DVD 'stereo' or 'multi'sound setting. Although all three settings produce sound when playing a CD, it's all too easy to forget to reverse the setting after playing a DVD and then immediately remember why the CD sound is degraded when the display is off.
The sonic enhancement from the 'CD' setting is presumably attributable to the reduction in circuit noise after power to the the video board/s has been switched off.
DG
Hi DG, yes I discovered the same after listening to the various settings.
