Is it idiotic to stack an amp and tuner directly on top of a CD player?

Would it be idiotic to place a very heavy and solid Electrocompaniet CD player directly underneath a heavy vintage Accuphase integrated amp and tuner? Would the vibrations degrade the CD player performance, or would the weight mitigate that issue to a large extent?

The amp runs quite warm, so I'd rather it be on top.

Also, if it is an obvious mistake, are there any stand-alone isolation shelves, or other work-arounds, that would look nice, and wouldn't cost a small fortune?

Thanks for your input!

Correction in my post above, "no air vents to worry about with player on top of amp."

Meant to say, no air vents to worry about with amp on top of player.

I hear ya, but I thought that perhaps a single isolated shelf might solve the problem. And, having just pursued Salamder's site (it has been a while), it appears that I might be able to use one of their offerings for just that purpose. I'll contact them on Monday and see.

You may be able to find a solution using Mapleshade products. They can work with you to figure out what would work best.

@whipsaw Understood about your player and glad to see your exploring alternate solutions. If you just need a shelf check the classifieds here under stands there are plenty of amp stands and other isolation shelves and tweaks there.
