looking for best isolation platform for CD player

Sean...Can you explain it? "Working optimally" (your words) means that error-free data transfer is happening at the greatest possible bandwidth. In practice this means that correctable errors are occuring. Reducing the error rate can't hurt, but unless the unreduced rate is more than the encoding is designed to handle, it will have no effect on the final result.

Thank you Sean. Error correction seems to be some sort of low level pollution the less the player has to correct for the more clarity and ease of sound.Tom

The particular vibration isolation table that I have used is a Halcyonics unit similar to their current model Mod-1M. Check it out on their web site: www.halcyonics.com.

Although I remain skeptical about the necessity to isolate CD players, I can tell you that this vibration isolation table does a superb job.

Thank you Warren for your kind words..Tom

Proy, you have probably made your decision by now, but if not, I recommend Geoff Kait's Machina Dynamica Promethean Base. I have been using one for a week now under my digital components and the results are truly excellent. I have my amps on these as well, again with great results. I suspect every component I value will end up on one of these and that this will be the end of any and all isolation concerns forever. The benefit is in no way subtle.
