What is the latest greatest word in isolation footers for amps? stands?


Hello all,

looking for spikes/footers, or the like for a custom made amplifier platform.

they will reside between the platform and the flooring (carpeting ).

the platform is a 3 inch thick arrangement of Black Walnut with four drilld and tapped 1/4 in. 20 threads.

the 2 channel tube amp itself weighs right at 100lbs.

although I am asking for spikes or some sort of metal footer to support the entire unit am open to some other resonance draining/stabelizing solution should there be another path to that end footers alone might not address.

any thoughts here on the items which you have used or are using will be greatly appreciated.

I have not considered setting a budget for these items but I am not looking to take out a loan to acquire them either. consequently, something middle of the road pricewise ought to suffice.

lastly, a very good 3 tier rack is needed as well for a streamer DAC and preamp unless I break out the torch and cut down my Sound Anchor 6 level unit. lol

Many thanks!

Yes I agree the Townshend podiums are amazing I have a wooden floor and have podiums under my power amp and speakers, the ones under the speakers made the most improvement in my system
Herbie's Audio Labs makes several styles.  These are made out of a polymer.  There are even some you can  put under each level of your rack.  For speakers my size Townsend Podiums are over $2600.  


Critical Mass 2M 11/2 inch footers the best made and best sound.Jump on them ASAP!!
I second Iso Acoustic products (Gaia mentioned above). Best price/performance ration of similar products I've tried.
I am a big fan of the various Townsend isolation products.  Tried many different products over time.  Should have listened to the “buy once cry once” advice and gone directly to Townsends. Made a remarkable difference in my system.  Have them under speakers, amps and equipment rack.  I would say though that I got ~70% of the benefit from putting them under the speakers.
