Is it best to isolate??

Just picked up a Audio Research cd7 and I whould like to get the most out of this player!Does isolating cd players really make a difference?I was thinking of the symposium rollerblocks with the titanium bearings under this player.I have heard that sometimes you can overdamping components and I don't want that to be the case.I'm using a Michael Green rack that is built like a tank already...

You might look into NOS Reflector 6H30-DR in the output stage, my experience is they are much better than Sovtek 6H30p. I haven't used them in an ARC product only my C/J pre where they made a big improvement.
Personally I would go for the tubes first, at least research them, then deal with leading edge grunge with isolation second.
The ARC equipment I've had,CD3 MK11 and VS-115, didn't need much isolation so be careful not to over isolate and lean out the sound.
