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!

@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.

@noromance Many people, good listeners with excellent systems, are subject to that phenomenon. What you see and how you interpret it affects your interpretation of what you are hearing. We are all subject to this at some level. @kidbuck is right. In a formal AB comparison none of us would be able to reliably identify the subjects. The best way to evaluate a system's imaging capability is by relaxing in the listening position and closing one's eyes.

Kidbuck, I can't count the number of people I have pissed off and, "I Don't Care." I want to see everyone have a great system. Good equipment is not cheap and wasting money on things that in no way improve sound or function prevents one from getting that better amp or cartridge, things that do make a difference. You can't place an amp directly on carpet, so an amp platform does improve function, but implying that an amp platform improves sound quality means the individual has no understanding of psychoacoustics. Some audiophiles are bullying and rude. Keep doing your thing anyway.
