Re: current "best practice" on footers/isolation for cd transport?

Lots of ideas and choices. Dunno about "best practice". My method is to use compliant footers, wood platform, and hard cones with couplers.

Summary: Digital transports stock feet replaced with a quadpod set of Herbie's Audio Lab Tenderfoot feet, then placed on an Acacia wood platform (1.25 inch thick) supported by a tripod set of Audio Point 1.0AP1D brass cones placed on a tripod set of Audio Point APCD2 brass coupling discs with Herbie's Audio Lab grungebuster Dots placed between the coupling discs and MDF rack shelf surface:

transport ---> compliant footers ---> wood platform ---> brass cones ---> brass coupling discs ---> compliant dots ---> MDF rack shelf

Compliant footers: Quadpod set of Herbie's Audio Lab Tenderfoot feet.

Wood platform: 1.25'' Acacia wood cutting board used as platform.

Brass cones: Tripod set of Audio Point 1.0AP1D brass cones.

Brass coupling discs: Tripod set of Audio Point APCD2 brass coupling discs.

Compliant dots: Set of three Herbie's Audio Lab grungebuster Dots.
