Is it idiotic to stack an amp and tuner directly on top of a CD player?


Would it be idiotic to place a very heavy and solid Electrocompaniet CD player directly underneath a heavy vintage Accuphase integrated amp and tuner? Would the vibrations degrade the CD player performance, or would the weight mitigate that issue to a large extent?

The amp runs quite warm, so I'd rather it be on top.

Also, if it is an obvious mistake, are there any stand-alone isolation shelves, or other work-arounds, that would look nice, and wouldn't cost a small fortune?

Thanks for your input!

I have a nagging suspicion the significant magnetic field and or the vibration produced by the transformer of the amp would probably have deleterious effects on the performance of the CD player. Not to mention on the amplifier itself. However, the two components could be fairly easily isolated from each other, both magnetic field wise and vibration wise.
