    Default Suggested isolation feet for Oppo bluray player?

    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.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    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.

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    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?
