The stock feet are hard round plastic ones with a smaller square of the same material, centered and extending about 1/32 under the round portion.
The player is on the bottom shelf of a large media cabinet that has the TV on top, 3 shelves taking up the right half of the bottom, and two sets of disc holders taking up the bottom left half. The subwoofer is on the floor, close to the left side of the cabinet.
I was thinking of the Bright Star Audio large iso feet. Any other ideas? TIA.
PS: Picture is worth the price of admission!
No feet, just a bike inner tube, 12 inch works perfect. Just a few pumps of air. $3.00 most anywhere.
Something like these in the link. Also, you used could get door knob bumpers at hardware stores that were similar but be careful. The good ones are solid, the crappy ones are hollow. You also need to consider mass loading the top over the transport mechanism with something like an HRS plate. These things are da bomb but are too damn expensive. That how I have my 55 tricked out.

The bright star isonodes work great. I use them under my bd35. I also use them under a Scientific Atlanta cable box that has so much vibration that it resonated through my cabinet. The isonodes completely eliminated the problem.
$3.00
And yes, they do make a difference. They won't for everyone. Like the cynical person who posted below. But it won't cost you the earth to find out. The better your gear, the more likely you are to notice a difference.
I like what Ayre myrtle wood blocks do under my digital front end. Not that expensive either.
They make various footers. most are cheap, and have a money back policy.

Blu Ray is all digital. It spits out data a millions of bits per second. Unless your player is set upon a sub, new dampening feet will do nothing but separate you from your money. Take the money you were going to spend on these feet and buy a few Blu Ray movies, you will enjoy them a lot more.

Something spinning that fast reading that much data and you don't think stabilizing the unit and reducing microvibrations won't be beneficial? It's people like you who end-up writing for Consumer Reports or working as a government inspector.
Life of Brian, I get it.
First of all, sure, put pads under a record player, especially if it is set on a amp, or Heaven forbid, speaker. But a Blu Ray player? The servo controlling the laser head is amazingly fast and precise. Any problem caused by vibration would be removed by the servo mechanism. Worst case, you would get reading errors.
So, short of reading errors, which would give you obvious noise/dropouts in the sound/video, any subtle vibrations would have no effect. Two billion bits per minute are being read.

Out of curiosity I placed Symposium Rollerblock’s 2 under my cheap Oppo DVD player. The improvement was very noticeable. Go figure.
