Does anyone have experience with using these feet or similar products? I'd like to hear your opinion about these products. Thanks.

    I've used Vibrapods in the past with good success, under my CDP.

    Thanks, Steve.

    I found some good reviews on Vibrapods, too. Some said to put 3 feet (instead of 4) under the player for better stabability.

    Big Feet work very well, highly recommended.

    They were a waste of money for me.....quickly returned them.

    Vibrapods are the best bang-for-buck 'soft' decoupler/isolator.

    I prefer 'hard' isolation components. Brass cones, wood blocks, sand filled platforms, etc. All your CDP is going to do on AQ Big Feet is jump around like a **** in the bouncy balls.

    Cheers,

    I had a strange epiphany while experimenting with Vibrapods and Mapleshade brass cones.

    The Vibrapods made the player sound too lush, and the Mapleshades were a touch too analytical. The stock feet are now back on my CD Player. They're hard plastic with a rubber insert---maybe the perfect balance?

    I don't know why I bother with isolation anyway, I've got a concrete slab house. The only vibrational energy I have is airborne.

    My floor is a trampoline...

    I need more than vibrapods...

    I need my CDP on fishing line hanging from the ceilling with about 10 layers of foam around it...
