What's under your Classe Omega, or other big amp?

Hello,

I have a Classe Omega amp - the 250 lbs. Stereo version. My system is in the basement, thus berber on pad on concrete. So far I have it siting on the carpet.

I'm thinking points to replace the amp's feet, then direct on the carpet through to the concrete. Or, on a piece of butcher block (or some hardwood) or granite. And the granite or wood flat on the carpet with the pointed amp on top. Or points under the wood or granite as well.

Any thoughts or suggestions? What are you using?

Thanks,
Jim

I had Target builld an amp stand specifically for my Classe Omega power amp. It is spiked and built well. I sent dimensions and turn around time was short.

with the included large couplers seems to work better for me than Aurios MIBs. The music with the Symposium sounds more dynamic & fuller. With the Aurios, the music sounds lighter and a bit more transparent. My amp is the Ayre V-3 with the feet removed.
Good luck.

Oops.......I meant with the Symposium Super Plus Platform.
Cheers.

I have used a number of items under my Krell monoblocks, both individually and in combinations (bearings, spikes, amp stands, vibrapods, etc), and, in my system, just heavy brass cones/feet perform the best. There is more seperation and air around elements within the soundstage, and a much tighter focus to the sound. Bearings had less air and the elements in the soundstage were less dense; vibrapods were even less so.
YMMV
