vibration control - cd player


Hi all-

I've got a new Hegel Viking cd player here which is quite nice.  At the moment, it's sitting inside an Ikea cabinet.  The feet have a sort of small isonodes rubber piece. Is that sufficient?  Do I eventually want to invest in something like a Harmonic Resolutions platform?  Or the little EVP squares?  Or something else?  (A real audio stand is not an option in my very small room.)

Thanks for any advice.

It depends on the weight of your CD player. If the Townshend seismic platform will work with the weight (they have like 4-5 different tensions for the podiums), I feel that is the best vibration control product out there, but you have to make sure you are isolated from footfalls, which it does not help, so if you have a suspended wood floor, you could experience them, although I suspect not nearly as bad as with a turntable. So as long as you are not walking near it, you should be OK. 

Symposium rollerblocks or a platform would be 2nd choice. If you call Peter, he will guide you. I don't have a cd player, but he told me the improvement with his products on a cd player is even greater than a turntable.
