Amp Stands - Wood or Stone

Solid steel brand stands all the way 

I made my own out of a slab of live edge black walnut.  I put Isoacoustic feet on it for vibration mitigation.  It’s supporting a D’Agostino S350 and looks amazing.  

End grain maple 4'' thick does the trick with isoacoustic feet. Holes drilled in them filled with lead. A sleek half-blind or through dovetailed cap using exotic species to rest on top looks nice, with a sheet of 8# lead between them. 

People who use wood, granite or glass have absolutely no idea what they're doing. All of these materials absorb and release energy in non-linear ways. You're simply choosing another form of coloration. Active isolation is the way to go.

I like the idea of 2" slabs of hardwood, either finished edges or raw.  Then, rather than having them standing on the floor, I'd wall-mount them with a hidden cleat.  Then conceal all the cabling for a super-clean and finished look, if possible.
