What's under YOUR CD player?


Will I really improve the sound from my Ikemi CD player by putting something under it, other than the walnut shelf it sits on inside my antique hutch stereo cabinet?

Will upgrading the power cord to a PS minilab cable help also?

Or, should I just play the music?

(it's fun though, isn't it!)

I have a Karik III and I use Audiopoints brass cones between the player and a Michael Green rack. I found the pneumatic platforms (Townshend and Brightstar) and Vibrapods slowed the pacing and bass, although they are smooth-sounding. Audiopoints opened up the top, reduced the digital glare and added depth and space, with absolutely zero trade-off. (Mapleshades are also very good). My experience, BTW, is that power cords are not very meaningful to Linn equipment, especially pieces with switching power supplies, like the Ikemi. I tried the JPS Digital and others, and also tried Shunyata and others on my Karik and on my Lingo, and sent them all back. PC's did improve my Majik and my old LK280, so the amps seem to be a different story.
