What's under YOUR CD player?


Will I really improve the sound from my Ikemi CD player by putting something under it, other than the walnut shelf it sits on inside my antique hutch stereo cabinet?

Will upgrading the power cord to a PS minilab cable help also?

Or, should I just play the music?

(it's fun though, isn't it!)

Neuance Alpha shelf with the cdp supported by myrtlewood blocks. There is a picture showing the maple boards on the wall stand in my virtual system.
Subaruguru, How do you have the Neuance shelf supported on the audio rack and what other supports, if any, are you using? I use the points that were included threaded into a thick maple shelf to support the Neuance shelf near the corners. I started with the stock feet on the cdp and after trying a few other supports I'm back with the stock feet. This shelf is the best isolation device I have tried and I plan to get one for my amp also when it becomes available. I have not tried the DH Labs cones with the Neuance and was curious if anyone else has had a good experience adding those or other footers.
Subaruguru and others Neuance users; Are you using the stock feet on the components or something else?
I have tried a number of isolation products including Vibrapods, sorbothane, Solid Tech 'Feet of Silence', bicycle innertubes, maple boards, MDF, Isobearings, brass cones, wood blocks, and Isolpads, which all had varying degrees of isolation and each has their pros and cons. Although there are many I have not used, the best so far has been the Neuance shelf.
