Amp Stands - Wood or Stone

I would opt for a platform where the frequency range is well above and below the range of human hearing. You cannot hear it nor will it influence the sonic of your system. 

If the platform arrives with a specified vibration management system based on material science, physics, and geometry and is designed into the stand then you eliminate a lot of guessing and additional expenses where those funds could be used to purchase more music or finer equipment.

I know a few guys who have experimented with amp sand boxes, and said the sound completely tightened up. Basically a 3" wooden litter box for your amp filled with sand.

I would definitely use some rare wood from a National Park. Or the petrified forest stuff from Arizona

(I know, not funny)

Amazon has affordable Pangea amp stands. I've used a bunch of similar stands, they all worked great.

Two layers of Baltic Birch plywood (13 ply, 3/4" thick), with a layer of viscoelastic material (Green Glue, or Acoustic Sciences Corp. WallDamp) between them. Finish with lacquer or polyurethane. Place on a set of Townshend Audio Seismic Pods, or for a low price option a set of the aluminum "spring spikes" available on ebay.
