I agree with jond, probably the Esoteric line of players are most famous for their transport design.
What CD player/transport has the most stable mechanism?
I was wondering if someone out there could help me with this question. What CD player/transport has the most stable mechanism? By that I mean, what player/transport isolates the player from external bumps and vibration?
For years I have owned a SOTA sapphire turntable. Not that I've tried it, but you can drop a bowling bowl on it and not cause a skip. Is there a CD equivalent? No one talks about this, but for me, it's hugely important. I'm asking about vintage equipment, new stuff, cheap, expensive, whatever. BTW, I'm not asking about isolation equipment or racks or anything like that. Just the intrinsic stability of the player itself. Thanks in advance!

As @bdp24 mentions above, isolation could help you "get by" with a less expensive CDP. Another alternative for the DIYer is a sandbox isolation platform. http://www.cognitivevent.com/sandbox.html |
