Can anyone suggest a good cone or isolation bearings to used under a CD player?

I built magnetic levitation pods and they kick ass! The only contact with earth (besides a small amount of side pressure) would be from the cables that connect to the cd player. This kills nearly ALL earth born vibrations!! The sound is improved in the following ways: Bass is deeper and cleaner. Soundstage is much more airer. The music just sounds so much more REAL when you can "float" the cd player or transport above the shelf. All materials can be bought locally. See my instructions on the PS Audio web site and happy building!!

I think I'd be more worried about getting killed by falling objects!!!! As far as draining off vibrations you're correct. The best way to completely isolate would be to float only the actual laser and motor spindle assembly. I'm working on that now with some super powerful tiny magnets. Check on the PS audio website from time to time as they are also interested in my idea.
