looking for best isolation platform for CD player


Looking for best isolation platform for High End CDP , Linn / Audio Aero Capital/ Ensemble new cdp out next few weeks / not sure yet what I'm getting. Using XA7ES right now.

I have a stand now ( Atlantis ) and looking at audio points /silent feet, not quite sure if these are the right ideal or is there a perfect platform specialy for CDP .

Note: just bought Sistrum SP1 for my amp should be here next week.

Sean or anyone, what do you think about magnetic levitation feet? So the the component is suspended with no contact at all?
Rollerblocks seem to be good at both isolation and vibration transmission.
Here are brass cones for $19.75:

If you are going with the transfer method I don't see how four little cones are going to effectively transfer vibrations out of the component. I would think four 3" diameter brass discs would be better. Meaning as much of the case of the component is in contact with the medium which is transferring the vibrations.
Sure four little cones may be the right concept but I don't see them are being the most effective solution. Well, if you can locate the vibration nodes of the component's case and put the cones at those nodes they could work. Stereophile had a good article on this and find where the nodes are. As usual, I can'd find it now. If anyone cares, I will try to find it.
I found an accelerometer for $35:
Stereophile is good for something
In first the February 1991 issue of Voice Coil, then the November issue (footnote 1), Editor Vance Dickason described a low-cost accelerometer made from a strip of the piezoelectric polymer PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) that enables impecunious engineers to get a more objective handle on cabinet problems. Costing just $35 plus shipping (footnote 2), the transducer consists of a 4" by 1" strip of PVDF attached to a small plastic block from which emerges a short pigtail of coaxial cable. The strip is securely taped to the surface to be analyzed; the output can be fed to any of the standard industry measurement systems.

Footnote 2: For further details on this low-cost, $35-plus-S&H, PVDF strip accelerometer, see "High Polymer Piezo Film in Electroacoustical Transducer Applications," AES Preprint 2308, presented at the 79th Audio Engineering Society Convention in New York in October 1985 by Jesse Klapholz.
