Try it all....what do you have to loose? Put it under preamps, CD players, et al. It really works B&M baked beans works as well....you very well might like that sound better.
AMPLIFIER BLOCKS
Im thinking about adding an amplifier block under my Krell FPB 600. Right now it sits on top of my hardwood floor. Does anyone recommend them and what kind , where to find them.

Hi Tattooedtrackman You have some solid suggestions to choose from, I will add another for your consideration. https://audiophilevibrationcontrol.com I found an old Stand Design rack, and replaced the shelving with these guys. What they produced exceeded my expectations in both look and functionality. They are reasonably priced. I find that Finite Elemente(Cerabase Classic) make the best footers. They come up on Agon from time to time at 50% off list. Good Luck |
You didn't say, but full depth, sanded-in-place, tongue-in-groove, hardwood floors are typically supported on wooden floor joists over a basement or crawl space. Wood flooring over a wood joist support system is very different from flooring over a concrete slab-on-grade. The wood joists will be more susceptible to vibrations than a floor supported over a slab-on-grade. If your system is supported over wood joists, then an amplifier stand or support platform could be more effective than which blocks, or footers, you have directly under your amp. A platform may help spread the amplifier support over a larger area so that the support is derived directly from multiple joists while the four feet alone may be positioned on the flooring between joists. I suspect decoupling using compliant footers or springs may be more beneficial than coupling with spikes, for situations over a joist-supported wood floor. You may want to look into what has worked well for people with large speakers over joist-supported floors. |
