What's under YOUR CD player?

my "digital stack" top-to-bottom:
CDP
Nordost Pulsar Points - titanium option
Zoethecus Z-Slab shelf
Vibrapods
(all this is atop the rack's shelf)

JPS Digital AC power cord

Your own situation dictates what will work best for you - the same tweaks in another rig will have some effects, but they will be different & not necessarily optimum. The only way to find out what works best for you & with your sonic preferences is to experiment. Try lots of different things & then sell what you don't keep. Use the aforementioned suggestions only as guidelines. Cones alone come in numerous variations, & they are all different sounding - aluminum, brass, titanium, steel, carbon fiber, ceramic, polycrystal, wood, (you-name-it).

If you spell your coffee laughing while reading this I'm not responsable. First there is 1" bubblewrap[from advice here on AG]. Thanks again. On top of the Bubblewrap is a maple butcher block. On top of the block are three Smitty Balls[ my version of the DIYumas] The cd player floates nicely on this[leveled] with a sand bag setting on the top cover...It took a bit of trial and error listening and changing until I liked what I heard. After all, all the above methods obviously work for their owners. You have to decide which "effect" furthers your enjoyment of your cds. Happy New Year everyone.

Many PCs to choose from. I think you will be surprised at the performance of a good PC. The Neuance shelf on a rack or Sistrum rack greatly improves the sound you will get from your CDP. Good advice from some above.

I use those gel filled wrist pads for computer typing under my CD player. Great for vibration absorption. I place small (2 by 2) ceramic tile under them for stability. Works great.
