First the bad news or at least the most shocking revelation -- in getting the MCD500 ready for the transformation, I removed the stock feet and about had a heart attack -- the stock feet are molded plastic and weigh in at 17.6g (1/2 ounce or so). For a well made player that the MCD500 is; for heavens sake folks, get something better for vibration control such as Rollerballs, Fatz Pads, Stillpoints, Harmonix footers under that fine unit.

Okay, so what did I notice? Well, to set the stage, I've been playing the same two CD's over and over this morning prior to the installation of the Stillpoints.

On DK's CD's and Jennifer Warnes, The Hunter, the notes are without a doubt an improvement, even though slight, in detail and articulation.

Pics of the stock feet against the heavy, metal constructed MC2301 footers.

Next project -- Stillpoints under the C500P (which supports the C500T) and under the MT10 (I tried a Ginko Cloud 11 and noticed when I tapped on the platform, a thud would amplify thru my speakers -- so, it was removed).

Nice pic. Have you done anything with the 2301's?

Nothing; except put them on some Nordost Sort Kones (AC models) and slotted GL's.
