vibration control - cd player

The best vibration control according to most engineers is springs. You can pay a lot or very little if you buy on Aliexpress.

Yes, it is very likely your player can benefit significantly from vibration control. How much will depend on the rest of your system. So it would be helpful to know what the rest of your system is. There is a place under your ID to post photos and ID components. That is really helpful for us to help.

It is a light weight player, so it is unlikely to have benefited maximizing internal vibration control. Even players at twice the weight or more benefit from vibration control. Springs perform really well on massive players because of their inertia. It is likely platforms will work really well… although most are expensive. Pucks, vibrapods, cones, etc. must generally be tried to find out what works best.

Is your stand on a concrete floor, or suspended? This is likely to influence what works best as well. A purpose built audio stand will also help. It will be ridged and solid. This need not cost a fortune… but a solidly built stand is the best foundation.

Hi all-

Thanks for all the good ideas and I'm happy to provide more details on my system.  The cd player (Hegel Viking) is 16 pounds.  It sits on a shelf in a built in wood cabinet (not audio equipment).  The room is small -9 by 11- and there is no possibility of putting a real audio rack in it.  The Viking is connect to a Brinkmann Vollverstärker amplifier, and that powers Trenner and Fried Suns (sitting on Sound Anchor stands).  Cables, interconnects, and power cords are Triode Wire Cables.  

Many thanks! Margot

Trenner & Friedl, I meant!

As you are not looking to support a great weight, a Wall Shelf could be considered, with Springs/Suspension Pads used between frame and wall, obviously with Top Fastenings used, by tightening / loosening to attain Level once the weight is on the shelve.

Additional Isolation can then be used under the CDP.
