looking for best isolation platform for CD player

"I can't see needing this for a CD player..."

Actually, CD players respond very positively to vibration isolation, the better the isolator the better the results. One reason for this might be the small coil spring assembly that supports the laser itself. This laser assembly has a resonant frequency of approx. 8 Hz. Structural vibration capable of causing a tonearm or cartridge to resonate will also cause the laser assembly to resonate...

Geoffkait...How then do CD players work so well in automobiles, and even in portable players while joging?

Error correction is one reason car and portable cd players work so well in poor environment.. I have implemented many ways that make for less error correction and therefore better sound..Tom

The more robust players such as those for jogging feature data buffers, so if there's a momentary loss of data due to shock, it is transparent to the user. So this is not error correction per se but data buffering.

Geoff I have an older Denon player in my collection that also had a data buffer. Adjusting the laser focus offset and focus for the eye pattern, all way before the error correction, improved the sound with each little turn. I have a propretary device I use that will reduce laser scatter and decrease error correction as well as four other benefits..Tom
