In Reply to: RE: Does anybody have better results with any other footers vs. Rollerblocks Jr. under CD player? posted by carcass93 on July 19, 2010 at 09:06:40
I still remember a demo at a friend's house with Pierre Sprey (Mapleshade) doing the honors. Using a run-of-the-mill CD player on a small end table, he first played a CD with the CDP just sitting on the table. Then, in turn, he added brass cones under the CDP, a 2" thick maple platform under the cones, and cork/rubber sandwiches (Isoblocks) under the maple. At each step, the improvement was obvious, and at the end he removed everything and went back to the CDP, alone, on the end table. Anyone who wasn't sold on the merits of his approach simply had to be deaf.I once bought a set of Symposium Jr. Rollerbocks and returned them.

I recall someone posting on this forum that the Mapleshade Isoblocks were the same as devices available at appliance parts stores for leveling or to dampen refrigerator bodies, albeit at a substantially lower price. I could be wrong, but after investigating at a parts store in a suburb of KC, they did look very much alike.
Peace, good beer and barbecue!

That's correct. I've never actually seen the cheaper varieties, but they're out there. I understand that the cheap ones are a lot larger and you have to saw them down to reasonable dimensions, but I could be wrong.
