Damping weights for MiniDAC: Suggestions Please!

Posted by BigMagFan on June 18, 2005 at 21:07:24

I'm looking for some damping weight to be put on top of a Apogee Mini DAC, which is sitting on some Vibrapods and cones. The uneven bottom of the DAC mandates using the cones pointing up. While there are no original footers to place the tips of the cones, it also means the less-than-2-pound DAC is not exactly stable with this set up. I'm using PNF balanced ICON interconnects which is not particularly thick. Still I can see the DAC sliding here and there.
I've looked at Harmonic Resolution Systems Damping plates, they only weigh 1.5 lbs each and they are expensive. The NotePads from Gutwire look promising but I suspect that they don't weigh much more.
Any suggestions please?
