a feather cushion under CDP - what a silly tweak

Posted by gordan (A) on March 13, 2007 at 05:25:27

i have thule cd150b, an average mid-quality CDP from 5-6 years ago. it is a decent machine but somehow i thought that it sounds a bit "congested", lacks a better flow.

an experienced friend came to me for the first time to hear my system and after 5 mins he started looking for a small feather-filled cushion. when he placed it under the player, the difference was pretty obvious: more flow, more realism, less hardness, less digital glare. i would say it is a rather dramatic difference considering a simplicity of a tweak. i even didn't bother to put my CDP in a perfectly horizontal position.

i am really surprised as i have never heard of this tweak: people usually place their CDPs on cones to marble support to eliminate vibrations.

my wife, usually not interested in changes, asked me yesterday evening what happenned to our sound as it now sounds more enjoyable.

maybe this will work for someone else.
