Isolation Platform - to be or not to be for CDP?


Right now, I am restricted to a fairly sturdy all wood cabinet to house my equipment. I was considering a custom mapleshade 2" platform to be supported by metal inserts or dowels to go under my CDP. Is this a worthwhile (~$200) investment given the type of cabinet. Eventually I will go to a better rack but that is probably at least several months out on the horizon. Any advice, as always, is greatly appreciated.

Maineiac,
If I remember correctly, you are now using an Audio Aero Prima CD player, no? If so, try out a few inexpensive tweaks first, or ones that you can easily re-sell. I have my Prima sitting on a block of 3" maple from www.timbernation.com (about $60, unprimed), but every under-foot isolation tweak I've tried thus far on my Prima has resulted in thuddy bass and a diminished sustain in the sound.
Good luck, and please report what you find out.
