What's under YOUR CD player?


Will I really improve the sound from my Ikemi CD player by putting something under it, other than the walnut shelf it sits on inside my antique hutch stereo cabinet?

Will upgrading the power cord to a PS minilab cable help also?

Or, should I just play the music?

(it's fun though, isn't it!)

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.
I have my CDP sitting on a Sisturm Platform designed to couple my CDP. This is one beautiful piece of engineering. Imagine to 2" brass cones, one point up, one point down, threaded together through a steel triangular resonant coupler. Can't imagine? Go to their website: audiopoints.com and you'll see the whole deal. You'll think you bought a new CDP once you put your baby on top of this system. They are amazing. I'm not a decoupler. While I know it works for many, it's really quite an impossibility to achieve, especially when you (we forget) take into account airborne resonances. Then the very things you're using to decouple, keep those nasty microphonous resonances right where you don't want them. Coupling. That
's the ticket. The technology and physics is still a mystery to many of us. On their website, they and Robert, will explain, very patiently, what the whole deal is about. Their stuff has a money back guarentee. Whaddaya got to lose? Happy New Year, warren
