Yes. It's an el-cheapo DIY vibration absorption tweak (2 tennis balls cut in half and placed under the TT). I saw them 3/$.99 at Wall*Mart and just couldn't resist. I haven't noticed much if any difference, probably because this TT is already spring-suspended and the tennis balls are a bit hard.

I know I should, but I don't know where else in my room I could put either the TT or the receiver (unless I put one where the printer in that picture is, which is simply inconvenient). I only run the receiver for 2~3 hours at a time, and then let it cool down so I don't think its that bad, especially since the tennis balls and CD-Rs under the TT (I use the CD-Rs to give the receiver more room and to ensure that the TT is level) give it 1.5~2 inches of "breathing room." It also stays pretty cool if I leave the speakers turned off and only use the headphone jack (it makes a pretty nice headphone amp, I hardly ever use my Headsave Classic anymore).
