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've experimented with foam pads of various densities, with mixed results. Now that my CD player is enclosed in a heavy custom oak cabinet, with nothing under it except the stock feet and the oak shelf, it sounds better than ever.

JBatlanta, Now that it's installed allow the whole set up to sit with no tweaking for at least four days. The Nueance needs to settle in to each alteration of support. After a few disks you'll know! Take it out and listen, the change is easy to hear.

Poor man's isolation.
Buy a mouse pad from computer store, cut it to the right size. put it under your CD player or turntable (you can double or tripple if necessary). Always remember to level your player. One or two dollars and 10 min of work.

Good idea, Loose. However , if you put the squash balls in the centre of the vibrapods they hold in place quite well and you don't have to cut them in two....cheers
