Anything you can do to reduce vibration inside AND outside of the enclosure will operate to improve the sonics of the player i.e. it should resolve more detail that is now being smeared by the vibration. In most CD players the transport mechanism, especially the disc hold down, is atrociously inadequate. Try filling the cavities of the somewhat triangular hold down with lead tape (available at golf supply shops). Suspension systems (i.e. sorbothane feet, etc) for the chassis/enclosure are actually spring systems and must be precisely loaded to function optimally : like putting VW shocks on a Cadillac or vice-versa. The best way to isolate the enclosure from vibration fed into it from the shelf is to suspend the enclosure using 3 archery arrow points resting on metal discs. This reduces the enclosure's contact with the shelf to the combined area of the arrow points so that virtually no vibration can be fed into the enclosure from its' shelf, which is usually the major source. To block most airborne vibration put an oversize 4-sided wooden enclosure over the CD enclosure (open only at the bottom (already isolated) & front. Maple is a very efficient vibration absorber.

Happy Listening !
