vibration control - cd player

Hi all-

I've got a new Hegel Viking cd player here which is quite nice.  At the moment, it's sitting inside an Ikea cabinet.  The feet have a sort of small isonodes rubber piece. Is that sufficient?  Do I eventually want to invest in something like a Harmonic Resolutions platform?  Or the little EVP squares?  Or something else?  (A real audio stand is not an option in my very small room.)

Thanks for any advice.

Turn up the volume a ways and put a hand on the cabinet which holds the Hegel.

If you feel zero vibration -Good.

If you feel anything-Bad.

I like the Varney AV Room Service pads. Pricey buggers though.

Is Hegel a 3 legged affair? 

Now the prices went up to $119 each! AHHHHH!!!

Nice score on the Viking! I own a Mohican myself. It would be of interest to learn if Hegel suggests aftermarket isolation cones/feet for their Players. These are high-end spinners, so I believe Hegel took Stock feet into consideration. Staying tuned.

 

Happy Listening!

OK Guys.  Don't laugh.

I had a BooS Blocks large cutting board laying around here for years, unused.  Not cheap.  Some kind of hardwood.  Then, someone here mentioned using one.  I figured what the heck.  Set it up with a few old anti vibe pucks also laying around for years.  Placed my transport on top.  Well Damm!!  Improved everything, especially low frequency details.  And, it cost nothing.
