Aurios under JC1 monoblock's?

Get rid of the glass! It rings, obviously. Likewise, I do not recommend the cork-and-rubber sandwich isolators which tend to rob the music of richness and energy. I recommend rigid stands and good cones or spikes, with some careful tuning of resonances.

Brian, I've heard/read many times that glass rings. What, if any, detrimental effects could this have on my amps and/or cdp which sits on Aurios Pro's w/Tungstan Carbide balls on a glass shelf? Am I not isolating from the glass with Aurios? I require a rack that will accomidate my 27" tube tv. I understand that the tv being in the mix really throws a wrench into the program, and that's why I like this particular rack I am running. But, I can't remove the tv from the mix, it's just not an option. Also, I can (fairly) easily move this rack out for cabling and such. Any suggestions???

One way to get glass to quit ringing is to put another piece of glass (or marble, or granite) on top with a thin sheet of foam (or sorbothane, or blue tack) between them.

Essentialaudio makes some good points. However, tweaking is not an exact science. If it were we'd all know what to do for our individual system set-ups based on simple formulas. It's really easy to go out and spend hundreds of dollars in tweaks that after experimentation, result in your sound ending up right back where you started. Tweaking is a form of tuning. Trying to compensate for inefficiecies in our set-up or room to get the most from our gear. In other words we are voicing our system to it's surroundings. Much like a musician would voice an instrument to a room that it is played in.

Unfortunately, because of some preferences/limitations of your set-up, only you can voice your gear to it's surroundings, unless of course an audiophile who lives near you can provide assistance. It's really time to hunker down and try some of these suggestions and see what works for you and what doesn't. Many vendors provide 30 day trials so all you have to lose is shipping costs and your time. I myself have found the rubber/cork sandwiches very useful contrary to Essentialaudio's statement, but that doesn't mean his statement is false.

However, just to show you how far I have taken this science (and my methods have certainly not achieved perfection - but I'm happy with the results), I use a 2" thick maple amp stand with 3" brass cones, suspension rack (pAarticular Triangle), Still Points, Sound Anchor speaker stands (with Herbie's black dots), Herbie's Halos, and HRS damping plates. I've also addressed echo and first reflection point issues in my room with Golden Sound Acoustic Discs and some home made diffusors.

So, keep the glass and try some of the devices mentioned and see where it goes. BTW - Granite Audio just came out with some Cat Paws which look promising. Might be worth a try. If by some coincidence you're in the SoCal area I'd be glad to lend a hand and an ear.

Some interesting responses here...

Tvad, as much as I appreciate the offer, I think I'm gonna pass. But I did read all the info on Symposium's website, very comprehensive. I had never really looked into them before. But the more I read and research, it sounds as if there would be a very negligible improvement, if any. Perhaps that money would be better spent in cabling and/or power conditioning for my source, I don't know. It's quite a stellar system, IMO, just trying to squeeze every last ounce out of it and make it the best it can be. It certainly couldn't hurt to try some of the cheaper alternatives though, such as the rubber/cork sandwiches that Clio09 mentions. And I read all the info on the Cat/Tiger Paws, very interesting. They would look way cool under my amps, but they sound like they could be a bit cumbersome to use, and they're a little pricy, IMO.

Still not sure what "ringing" glass means and/or it's effects on my system, if any. Ever seen that compressed rubber high density flooring used in commercial applications? I have samples of that at home. I think I'll try cutting some small squares of it and slip them between the feet on my amps and the glass and see if I can discern any effect.
Maybe this will give me some insight as to what direction, if any, to take...
