Amp Stands - Wood or Stone


I'm in the process of relocating my audio equipment to a side wall and need to place my amps, AGD Audions, on something.  Floor is carpeted.  Stands will be very small and won't be supporting much weight.  I have access to granite, marble, etc. (next to nothing scape from remodel jobs).  Also, have pretty good relationship with a serious wood worker who is happy to cut maple, oak, cherry, most any hardwood, etc.  Cost is not really an issue just looking for an opinion / logic around which material I should use.  At this point, I'm thinking 1 1/2 to 2 inch thick walnut on some kind of cone / spike legs. Sorry for maybe a dumb question!

Maybe it's just my ridiculously sensitive hearing and hyperactive neurons, or maybe it's all the tubes in my phono amps, preamp and power amps, but I can hear differences in the sound of different supports beneath the amplifiers. Quasi-authoritative proclamations that this is impossible indicate that your situation may differ entirely. 

@kidbuck 

Your combative stance and attitude is likely what got your post removed. If I went on ASR and challenged the nerd types that all amps sound different, I would probably have the same reception. 
 

You aren’t the only one around here with your viewpoint. But others are smart enough to temper it. If not, their posts meet the same fate.

@ozzy62 I was never "Combative". 

Your statement is unfair, and false. 

What happened is I was instantly belittled for my viewpoint including the fact it was my first post. Y'all are being bullying and rude so I said I don't care about your personal attacks. Those remarks are the ones that should be removed. I'm sorry I'm new and i disagree. Sheesh. 

I didn't go on a "temper tantrum rant" of which I was falsely accused of or try to "hustle" anyone because my use of the word "bet" was OBVIOUSLY not in a literal sense because I was asked for specifics on my use of the word "guarantee" that I clearly used figuratively. So I changed the word to bet and it was taken from there with the berating and untrue assessments because I don't agree and that I'm new.

I'm not combative so let's just be fair because that's ridiculous. Defensive, yes, but only because of how y'all came down on me. And you continue to do it. Its not nice to belittlepeoplebecausetheyvare new and don't agree. 

Yeah, I'm new and not in your circle so I'm being taking advantage of and it's not good.
