What's under YOUR CD player?

To decouple or couple? That is the question. You cannot mix the two. Well, you can, but you're killing your road to happy coupling...I'm a coupler, and have been happy ever since...It's doable...total isolation isn't. Never! Happy listening.

Nordost pulsar points which rest atop of Yamamura Art-Q Dampers. This has netted very interesting results...sonically speaking. Works OK for me anyway.

Meridian 508.24 CDP, on top of SoundSpikes, on top of Black Diamond "The Shelf," on top of Atlantic Reference rack with spikes under each shelf and SoundSpikes for the rack's feet and filled with Fijian sand.

CDP sets on Aurios 1.2 with bearing on top. Use Mapleshade brass heavyhats for tuning top of CDP.

Still toying with the idea of floating entire audio rack on top of Aurios.

The Sistrum approach is interesting giving you in effect a two pointed cone. Several companies are catching on now and offering the triple point cone to reduce surface contact.

I do own some large triple point brass cones and they work very well.

until last night i didn't believe that putting something under the Cd player will iprove the sound...i tried sand, bike innertubes, cones, etc...well, last night a friend of mine that makes a lot of covers for turntables made me a platform supported by air...yes, air!...this thing is made out of two plexiglass sheets with a proprietary suspension between them that creates this cushion of air...the bass became more tight (it was kinda boomy before), quieter background...i wasn't imagining...i had 3 other friends over and we all heard the same thing...i guess, these things work...but, as i said at the beginning, i've never heard a difference between cones, sand bags, innertubes and nothing else but the shelf...until last night...this thing is amazing...
