not sure why i didn't notice this before, but it is a semi-heavy player and i do not find myself lifting it up at such an angle as to see clearly the entire bottom half. from what i have read and my experience with them under my Apache, i do think it is likely that the cardas blocks will have a positive effect on other CD players.

I went ahead and ordered a 6-pack of the small blocks.
I think your CDP's of much better quality, right? And probably uses better isolation/dampening material.
My next cheap "tweak" is going to be add some Dynamat dampening material inside my CDP, because of some vibrations I can feel with my hand applying pressure to the CD tray. I found some of these stuff for $12 online, and retails for $40 in stores.
