What's under your amp?

A Sound Anchor amp stand under my Cary 40M monoblocks transformed them----more dynamic, more detailed, and more coherent. This was compared to a solid wood stand that I had tweaked to get the best sound.

Dennis,

Have you looked into the VR Series of Platforms from Silemt Running Audio? They are much less costly and up to 85% as effective as the OHIO Class bases. I am one of the biggest Doubting Thomases around, so when I reviewed these things (both the Ohio Class and VR platforms) for Stereo Times a few years ago, I was shocked at the difference a PLATFORM made under my amps. Like PBB, I had those same thoughts and doubts. I don't have time to go into it here so I'll give you two sites (one is my review and the other is Marc Mickelson's curent review at Soundstage [where I am now]) Maybe these will help - maybe not as it is all opinion and preference in the end in any event.

Hope this helps!

I second the SRA recommendation. Yes, they can be costly, but IMO there is no better isolation device on the planet. I have them under every component in my system, and the difference they've made in the sound quality is nothing short of astounding. If you can afford them, and don't want to settle for anything less than the very best, check out SRA. They're worth every penny.

Sorry about that duplicative site reference. I don't know how I missed that.

Here is the Soundstage review site I mentioned:

Hey thanks... so what color can the standard VRA come in? I hate that grey phony rock color...
