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!

I have a Yamaha A-S1000 integrated amp (48.5lbs) sitting on top of a Yamaha CD-S1000 CD/SACD player(33.1lbs).  No air vents to worry about with player on top of amp.  Feet are positioned about 1 inch off the corners.  So far no reason to think any ill will come from this.  What do you think?

Thanks,
Bill

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.
