Glass Shelf under CD Player or not?


I have a custom 1 1/2 inch thick maple shelf for my CD player. I made it perfectly level by placing a 1/2" thick piece of glass above 4 vibrapods with paper shims.

I am now wondering if I should just leave the vibrapods and remove the glass, as I have heard conflicting opinions about mounting on Glass.

My top loading ARC CD7 should arrive in about a week.

Thanks!

What CD player are we talking about. Some CD players have good feet that are designed to be on a solid surface. If they are hard rubber feet, I would go try sorbethane feet to the chassis and use the glass directly on top of the maple to keep the sorbethane from possibly removing the finish on the maple. But as Cyclonicman and Tvad point out, you have the opportunity to AB or even C the possibilities.
