Isolating CDP from weak wood floor


My CDP skips (alot) when my 25lb son dances on the wood floor in front of it (weak joists). I have a solid Manna rack and use MIB bearings under the CDP, but there is really no up/down isolation. I've also tried nothing, bubble wrap and some thick rubber/cork feet--no dice. I just looked at some Solid-Tech discs of silence, which seem like they might work-http://solid-tech.net/isolator.htm. Before I shell out the $$, I thought I'd see if anyone else has faced this problem. Thanks. D

Skipping CD players is something I just can't understand. Mine don't. Even the ones in my cars when I go over the world class pot holes we have in western Mass.
Frank_sm...Using a buffer which can be clocked out precisely seems to me to be the obvious right way to implement a digital disc player, but I'm told that they don't work that way. Supposedly the data is converted dirctly from the disc reading, which is why disc transport imperfections cause the dreaded jitter.
