Neat dampeners

Construction
I didn't want to pay a great deal for commercial dampeners, so I purchased one of those vacuum sealers at Sam's Club. The bags are thick enough to prevent puncture, come in two convenient sizes, and I can experiment with filler materials (sand, lead shot, etc.)
 
Setup
After I've filled the bag part-way with filler (never fill it completely or it won't seal) I put it in the sealer, which removed all of the airspace and sealed the bag. DO NOT PLACE THESE ON HOT/UNEVEN SURFACES. Pre-amps, CD players and VCR's are ok, just make sure there is adequate ventilation for the components to run without becoming hot
 
Use
 
Performance
To me, it tightened up the sound and increased the soundstage. Easy to remove for dusting, clean and change the size of the bag
 
Other
If it doesn't make a difference in sound, it can still be used for the intended purpose-makes food last longer
