Mass and vibration cancelling on top of CD player?

I also use VPI bricks. One on the transport and one one the DAC. I am not sure about it's effect on the transport which is well built and heavy, but I am pretty sure that it quells vibrations in the thinner casework of the DAC.

Geoffkait,
I am well aware of what VPI bricks were designed for. I have had four of them for at least 20 years. I use 2 on my amp transformers, but they are also very good to use as a damping weight for a case that might otherwise be a bit buzzy.

My transport is level, but that is not as critical in my setup, as I use a Pioneer stable platter transport which clamps the disc.

Geoffkait,
How would you check it then? I'm only asking out of curiosity, because I don't really think that it matters that much with my type of transport as ong as it isn't really off.

But not if it's clamped; and that is why the Pioneer stable platter design was so good.

The cd tray in mine is a machined aluminum platter with a removeable rubber mat, which is the point of contact with the CD. How could that be unreliable?

Geoffkait
I dunno, Roxy54. How could just about anything be unreliable with servo control and Reed a Solomon error correction? Lol

I guess it's an amusing reference, but I don't know what you are referring to. Can you explain?

Got it. Thanks
