Glass Shelf under CD Player or not?


I have a custom 1 1/2 inch thick maple shelf for my CD player. I made it perfectly level by placing a 1/2" thick piece of glass above 4 vibrapods with paper shims.

I am now wondering if I should just leave the vibrapods and remove the glass, as I have heard conflicting opinions about mounting on Glass.

My top loading ARC CD7 should arrive in about a week.

Thanks!

Well you have the opportunity to try it both ways. Although this is a thick sheet of glass, I suspect that the CD player will sound better on top of the maple.
I think it comes down to aesthetic preference. I doubt if blinded you would be able to tell the difference in sound.
