  Counterpoint did something with pcb isolation. It had springs on the bottom of the PCB to isolate it. Maybe something like that?

  I also had a Sony ES CD player from back in the 80's that had springs under the CD transport as well.

  I haven't tried anything on the exterior of the deck like the Wagner isolation blocks but I will try it once I get my Tape deck back in the rack.

    I practically invented springs under components. Going on 25 years. High carbon steel springs for the last 15 years. Spring forward!

      Do you vary spring tension to distribute resonance?

        You match spring rate to load. You minimize the number of the springs to reduce system resonant frequency and increase isolation effectiveness. And you position the springs under the component to balance and level the load.
