Walker Audio's resonance control discs and Walkers massive footers combined with Yamma-tek vibration transducers has beat all comers in my system. In my buddies system though, the roller blocks were prefered over the Walker units but only by a small margin. YMMV...

...placing one cone in the front and two in the back rather than two in the front. Of course YMMV. I've been experimenting with Edensound Bearpaw Seniors w/Triceratops with good results.

  Hey starchild,
  As with everything tweak, YMMV but with this particular CD player, the left front cone is placed under the transport, the rear cone is placed under the PS transformer and the right cone is placed to balance the triangular position.
  It's very interesting that just moving the left cone around in a small area changes the CD players tonal balance from dull to bright and also effects the expansion of the soundstage.
  What's even more interesting at this stage of resolution is that it is easily heard if the transport is not perfectly level! This means that one has to "pop the hood" and adjust/balance the chassis to level the transport via a bubble level on the transport frame itself and not the top cover as these are NOT in relation to each other.
  With the transport not level, the music takes on grain/grit and a forward/flat soundstage presentation. With it perfectly level, it is fluid and the musical drive is much more coherent and sometimes even sounds dull but the soundstage is much more deliniated and expansive.
  This relates with what I mentioned to the position of the left front cone in that the spectral balance can be shifted along with the level of the transport but leveling the transport is the main objective here.
  
  I've learned a lot using the Walker Audio resonance control discs and Valid Points due to the definitive resonance control these devices afford.

It was a small margin of difference, very small. I am using the Aurios Pro Max bearings. The Aurios had slightly better clarity.
