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!)

I agree with Tsrart about replacing the power cord on the Sony 9000. I got a big improvement swapping mine too.
Putting Tara Labs Vanishing Points under my Linn Genki made a HUGE difference. Three points, one in front & two in back (ala YBA) made everything wider, deeper and less glary. No joke, I took them out after a few months to see if I was imaginaing things and the soundstage just collapsed. AC cords on the other hand changed the sound but just made it different, not better. Most people suggest sticking to the Linn AC cable and I would have to agree. Since your Ikemi is the same chassis I would be shocked if some good iso points (BDR does not go well with Linn IMHO) like the Tara Labs would have similar improvements.
