Personally I would try Coke.
Should dampen any PCB vibrations very good after dry out.
At your own risk.

And instead of rounding corners on the PCB, why not make big round holes on it?
At your own risk, of course.😀
dear all,
First a question: Among those reacting on this subject, how many of you actually experimented with cork ?
Secondly, for those who can't measure things, don't put them aside with he argument "this is no engineering", because obviously, if you can hear it, there must be a way to measure it, but how is the issue, not if.
Oh, and before asking, yes, I use cork, and not only to close wine-bottles.
best regards

Made in Portugal, the best cork.

Hi Carlos,
I know, I know. Even the famous Catalan wines use Portugese cork..........
hasta pronto
I played with cork a lot myself!!!
The best sounding cork came out of, after bit of struggle, Thomas Hyland shiraz, vintage 2002. However, it doesn't sound that good if it pops out easily though..

Corked
Just what I remember from Faulty Towers
Customer: waiter this wine is corked!
Basil: yes the wine is uncorked
Customer: No, no I mean it tastes like cork, the cork has reacted with the wine.
Basil: Oooh, takes the glass and swallows the wine tasting it while making overly exaggerated poses.
Etc.

"Where did you get it?"
"What?"
"The wine. Where did you get it?"
"From the waiter."
"Uh.........I warned you about him..............
MANUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Etc.

Hi,
This player has been well and truely 'corked'.
Looks like some wine went in there accidently aswell!

I couldn't make any sense of the reasoning for using corks through a website translator (German to English)
Any German speakers?
Kind regards,
Ashley.

It's supposed to make the thing sound better. With respectful dissent to other member's opinions, Such things usually sound better when rapped with knuckles to me, not when playing music.

He doesn't mention the use of cork. Reasoning for using it isn't really necessary if your ears are ok and you are using an even better system, is it? If you can't hear the induced differences, don't blame it on your cork😉
BTW I never tried cork, but i did experiment with other (cheap) materials. Just try it...

Lourens,
I best start drinking wine straight away to get them corks, and if I can't hear the difference I will have to drink more wine
Anyone know any nice wines?

I used cork once, starting with some tweaking of gear, dampening of cabinet from a Kenwood cassette deck. Used wall decorating corksheets of 5 mm thick. So didn't take cork of chateau migraine.
No great improvement of sound.
But when i produced a new heavy flyweel on a lathe from massive brass instead of the standard thin pressed steel one, i heard a real improvement (less wow- flutter) Also new alignment of bias pots did a lot. Now is the cass. deck resting somewhere upstairs....

Alignment of bias and levels on cassette decks was my speciality for many years.😎
No more cassette decks.
Still have two, and around 1,000 recorded cassettes, on my basement.
Lots of good music there...

I can remember back in the late 70's,making endless cassettes on my Nakamichi 500 deck,it sure was fun setting up the recording levels and watching those VU meters... Bob C.

Hi all, I'd like to share my little experience.
Instead of damping all player, I damp only crystal. By de-solder crystal from PCB and re-connect to PCB with thiny and flexy wire.
This is to isolated the crytal from distrotion from PCB. However, I think, there still be some little distrotion via the connected wire.
So I reduce this distrotion by damp it with cotton wool, I wrapped it around the crystal. It easy and cheap. The result is good for me.
