I'm sorry that my first post was so short but my grandson needed attention. What I was trying to convey is that in all cases you need to penetrate the carpet and padding to have any chance of controling vibrations. I'm familiar with the Naim components and don't believe from my personal experience that you need to get carried away with isolation. The CDP may respond to mass loading and it's cheap to find out. If your turntable has a suspension then you need to use a light weight and rigid stand and if it's suspension-less you will need to couple it to the floor by way of a massive stand. I believe in a separate stand for your analog rig in either case.
If you can drill a hole and tap the inserts in with a mallet then this is your first step. An added benefit with adding the spikes to your coffee table is that it's removable if you wish to upgrade to a real equipment stand. The total cost for this is less than $10.
Better yet, go here and build this.
