Jan That's very true to remove the hard plastic feet from your CD player and use other feet as you have written. But I have found on the internet also other feet and I think it is better then the vibrapods, raquetballs or other rubber damping material.

It is a material like pumice stone, but it is no natural stone but it is synthetic, a kind of special plastic material. You can buy it in a drugstore and use for your feet, to remove old skin from your feet. It is very stiff and very light. These blocs are 95% air and the rest is the synthetic material.

I also used SSC Pucks under my cd player. (SSC is String Suspention Concept), but the blocs are better. They costs only a few $. In the Netherlands 1 bloc costs EUR 2,84 and from 1 bloc I have made 4 little blocs and now they are used as my cd player feet.

You can also use coins under your cd player and then place the cd player on the blocs.
