@Damon , if you're looking for a cheaper alternative the following might be an option. Although it doesn't look anywhere near as nice...
Yesterday I received my Od'A back from Paris and the shelf on my temporary rack wasn't wide enough. So I cut a larger piece of form ply and instead of screwing it on I glued it with 5 small dots of silicon. I put some temporary 4mm packers in between so it dried without sagging so now the top shelf is vibration controlled. All for the price of 5 small blobs of silicon.
I also have silicon feet under my Mac mini but that one took some 'preparation'. A few years back I used silicon to glue in some large timber windows in a steel frame. It took multiple tubes and I had a mate helping me. He handed me the new tubes and he put the old ones upside down in the box, with the nozzle removed. When a while ago all 12 tubes were finally used, I threw the box out. Since the box is cardboard and the tubes are not, I had to separate them. As I pulled the tubes out, there turned out to be a small perfectly cylindrical bit of silicon stuck to the box. It was the leftover bit in the screw part of the tube. I had 3 that I could use so I cut them to size and put them under the Mac. Again, cheap as chips but it does the job.
I have no idea whether it makes any difference in sound quality. I do know though, that the Od'A sounds incredible after upgrade and the Mac has a little more room to breathe and stay cool.
