Do glass shelves affect sound Quality?


I have a TV cabinet with glass shelves that houses my hifi components. I'm wondering if the glass shelves could affect the sound quality of my components. I have a Classe pre/pro and 5 channel amp, Oppo 95 player and the Olive 04HD.

like some of the other members I use a bit of glass under my CDP & have not had any issues with the sound for the last 10 years.
I tried granite & marble - both made the sound harsh. I know why. I also tried a teak wooden shelf & that made the sound too rich (bass heavy). So, glass was the most neutral believe it or not!
And, the glass is sitting on rollerballs & is not damped on the underside at all. Howzzat, eh?? Goes against the grain of thought......
