Rubber pucks would certainly _look_ better. I had some of the sorbothane pucks around from a previous use. I set one of those heavy marble pastry sheets on top of them and put my Rega on top of the marble. It cured the bass resonance interaction and I think it looks really nice, all for around $60. Sorbothane pucks were from Audioquest, I believe. Pastry sheet was green marble, from Mervyns. It may also have improved soundstage reproduction. But then it may just be my imagination. -- Roger Knopf "Step 1: Get a Guru." SCO Consulting Services -mikeeb@sco.COM uunet!sco!rogerk or rogerk@sco.com 408-425-7222 (voice) 408-458-4227 (fax)
