Without touching your sensible and beautiful layout of your shelf, I shall go direct to the cdp. Get ready some thin double-side tape. Place a 1-cent coin at each corner on top of your cdp, approx 2 cm from the edges. Position one 5-cent coin right in the middle. Tell me what are your impressions. If U like the sonic changes, use double-side tape to stick the coins in position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 so basically the first attempt is just to place the coins? do I need to stick it with the double sided tape? er... if you have any suggestion on how I should place my eqpmts.. please don't hesitate to do so. I know my placement is very bad.. especially the philips .. -.- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishball79 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 Isolate the cd player! Fishball's Cheap & Dirty Balls-Of-Steel Buy 3 of the largest flattest spoons u can find or tiny sauce plates or wasabi plate. Experiement with different materials, ceramic, melamine, steel... ~$5-10 for 3 3 1/2" stainless steel ball bearings ~$5-10 each A pack of blu tack ~$2 1) Blu tack the spoons on the shelf in a triangular position. Best to place 2 spoons along the side where the cd player is heavier. Make sure spoons are relatively flat 2) Place bearings in spoon and cd player on top. Make sure bearings aren't pressing against any uneven surface of the cd player chassis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know my placement is very bad.. especially the philips .. -.- Yup, just place the coins without adhesive initially. Apply only after U've decided these are good tweaks. I reckon I would prefer to go down personally to set it up for U. U just have to pay for my cab fare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to retain the rack the way it is.. yeah.. unless I can change it to a much better positioning.. mm.. yea anyway, maybe you can just sketch on the paper and scan it or something? hehehe... I am quite poor in positioning.. as you can see my room looks darn messy now bohooo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N@Z 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2003 Yikes what kind of music are you guys listening to! So many tweaks to try out. Didn't get a chance to do the ferrite ring tweak last night as I couldn't figure how to remove them! Plus Wacko Jacko's rebuttal documentary was on so... The coins & balls of steel should be easier albeit need to find ball bearings 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishball79 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2003 N@Z, Lemme know if you find any bearings, I oso want Generally the harder the ball the better, tungsten ones are better than your run of the mill stainless steel but also costlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
