help on isolation/absorption/coupling

I am new to tweaking. Can someone direct me to a reference or briefly explain which should be applied to the components and the rack. Which products isolate and which couple/absorb? I have searched this forum but the threads run too long and are too confusing to a newbie like me. I have a slate floor, a cd player, and a integrated single end tube amp and very efficient speakers. Thanks.

My experience in this area is limited, but clear: the use of a Neuance isolation platform under my CDP resulted in considerably better coherence, and integration of top octave info, WITHOUT the lower-freq rhythmic compromise of air bladders or sorbothane; the success is sufficient to allow my continued use of very revealing interconnects on most good recordings
(although I'm still seeking a les-revealing cable for too-bright CDs). I had almost given up on Redbook! Good luck.
