1. Is there any reason to believe that certain kinds of feet on a CD player
will make it less susceptible to vibration? In a stand alone CD player is
vibration even a problem?

Yes, but OTOH no, in that order.

2. Error correction, does it correct all errors on a normal readable disk?

No, you'll typically get one sub-millisecond 'best guess'
interpolation every five minutes, and less than one 'mute' error per
CD, otherwise data recovery is *perfect*. Do you think that kind of
error level is audible?

3. Has there ever really been a problem with audible jitter in consumer
players?

That's a vexed question, but probaly not, with the possible exception
of some exotic 'high end' designs. The only noticeable pattern with
'high end' designs (aside from ludicrous pricing) is that this is
where you'll find the *really* incompetent designs.......
