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!

I don't think you can predict the outcome. When I had a Naim Fraim with glass shelves, the glass sounded far superior to Corian under my Linn. When I moved the Linn to a wall shelf, the glass sounded horrible and Corian sounded better than glass or even Neuance. Your ARC may or may not be sensitive to shelf materials. Just try the different mountings and see what you prefer.
