Amps on top?

     Things got very crowded after the divorce shrank my listening room.

     The amps were on top, until I started Jonesing for my vinyls and TT.

      Had the scrap metal, 1/2" Corian, a huge granite leveling table, mill, lathe and welder at hand, so: figured I could probably come up with a way to straddle the two subs that were built to stand vertically, next to the Acoustats, for which I used to have room.

       All I had to buy was the 1" granite, felt for between that and the Corian, the powder coating job and 8 brass nuts, to lock the adjusting spikes that I turned out of 1/4-28 SHCSs, into the legs.

        Posted the result in my system pics.

        Haven't dusted this year (is it Spring yet?) and: the wallpaper was there when I moved in*.                                   

                                                             *:

                                                 Happy listening!

Solved this issue long ago, even tho' a SS kinda guy....

'Puter fans....Quiet, turns on with the amp.  No electrical racket noticed, low power draw.  Use it on the stand-alone units, anything I want to remain cool under pressure.....

For you 'tube types', a means of making use of that heat when winter returns...unless global warming makes that whole issue moot... ;)

(Keeps the dust out, too...*G*)

(( ....that, and the 'current crop' .... "To pun....or not to pun....isn't a question...😏..." even has the ability to give y'all a 'light show' in the comfy Barcalounger of your 'phile foxhole....))

Ludwig w/Lights!  Yow, so 21st Cen.....*L*

@rodman99999 ...mine is 2 slabs of cast-off 1.5" stone of indeterminate nature with a beefy pine frame....takes 2 to move empty...

With the pile on it?  Oh, ferget 'bout it...can't bring the Bobcat in here anymore... ;)

@asvjerry- 

                                          Forget that Bobcat!

                                  
        Order one of these*, sized to the corners of your room/ceiling and add a chain fall.                           

                        Moving those stands and amps will be a snap!

          With a pair of chain falls, the amps could REALLY be moved, "on top",

        Wrap the legs with the right materials and they'll do double duty as corner Bass traps.

                                 Now: THAT'S a system upgrade!

                                         (WAF notwithstanding)

@ghdprentice     I am interested in your comment on the sound improvement using ultra-short speaker cables.  I have always understood the speakers like to 'see' a bit of resistance and capacitance.   I run Krell KRS200s that stand immediately behind the speakers whose connectors are low.  So I could turn the amps around and run on less than 1 foot of cable.

Should I?

Another benefit might be that I could afford to run the most expensive speaker cable in the world.  But would it make much difference is there's only a foot of it?

Do you know the physics of all this please?
