Absolute level of CD during play

Proposition: If the CD isn't absolutely level while playing AND because the CD is usually out of round physically, the CD will tend to wobble or flutter, which overloads the laser servo feedback system. Thus the wobbling degrades the sound. When the spinning CD is absolutely level the sound quality is much better.

The level of the CD player is normally NOT the same absolute level as the spinning CD. Actually, if you use a small bubble level you can see the top of the player isn't the same level at all points on the surface. Furthermore some CD trays insert the disc at an angle. So how can absolute level of the spinning CD be obtained? A prize to the first to come up with a correct answer. If there are more than two different correct answers they all win.
