vibration control - cd player

While I tried Stillpoints to rubber footers (half a dozen footers) under the Shanling ET3 Transport, it’s own solid rubberized footers worked best.

The Topping D70s DAC sounded superior with very small half round rubber footers.

I put nothing under my EAR 912 pre-amp either.

The EAR 890 amp receives the Synergistic Research MiG Sx footers, one up in front and two down in back, where there is solid metal (I adjusted the bottom plate so that the perforated sections were mostly in the middle).

I put nothing under my COS Engineering D1v DAC.  

The VPI TNT VI+ requires a Townshend Seismic SInk or something to eliminate vibrations from it’s poorly designed hard delrin feet. Yuck!

It depends on the weight of your CD player. If the Townshend seismic platform will work with the weight (they have like 4-5 different tensions for the podiums), I feel that is the best vibration control product out there, but you have to make sure you are isolated from footfalls, which it does not help, so if you have a suspended wood floor, you could experience them, although I suspect not nearly as bad as with a turntable. So as long as you are not walking near it, you should be OK. 

Symposium rollerblocks or a platform would be 2nd choice. If you call Peter, he will guide you. I don't have a cd player, but he told me the improvement with his products on a cd player is even greater than a turntable.

I like to use some form of vibration contol between the shelf and a square of marble. Then the component has a basically heavy, inert platform for you to experiment with vibrapods, etc.
