Currently modding my Oppo 203, now looking at suggestions for isolation feet.
Its built like a tank and is heavy, but room for improvment as always.
Treating the player as a CD player (given its a disk spinner) so what works for a CD player of those should work for the Oppo.

Whats worked in your setup guys?
Thanks. :)

*EDIT*
Forgot to say, player is on a glass shelf.

I would have thought resonance control rather than isolation would be more important (given the spinning of discs). I have Nordost pulsar points under a lot of my equipment, lowers the noise floor considerably.

CB40 Ceramic Ball Isolating Feet, and place one of the feet directly under the power supply.

The sounds dead steel pads are unbeatable for the price.

I'd like to try finite element or still points but ££££.

Did that Tony, sharpened up things even more.
Another set of 4 of the round ones ordered - job done.


Thanks guys for all the suggestions.

Gary,
Any chance of a link.

You reckon me buying some with my kit on Ikea shitters would be like putting lipstick on a pig?

Probably get more benefit with a less than ideal surface I’d have thought.

Just to close my thread off, I tried various options and kept going back to a set of Rega P2 turntable feet I kept from "back in the day" when I got rid of my first turntable.

Seriously.
What!?

Yup, these things sounded better under the Oppo than any of the others I tried.
They were further improved by sitting Sound Damped Steel plates between the glass shelf of my rack and the Rega feet.
Have used the SDS plates elsewhere on my rack and they just work.

Bright Star IsoNodes, and weight on top of the player. Mass loading the case helps with optical transports.

Any Vibration issues already sorted Neil.
