Amp Stands?

I notice when Im looking At amps for sale some people put them on a wood or some sort of stone platform like marble. Why Is this? I also notice people putting speakers on platforms as well. Is there any difference In sound when this Is done with equipment or Is this a lot of snake oil.

I have found the denser/harder materials (granite/stone/glass) to remove some tonal/harmonic color.Wood has always been my preference.Try the maple cutting boards available through TI MAXX.Relatively cheap to try .Sizes vary from store to store/week-week.
If you like the results,then you can work up to the more costly "signature" products of various manufacturers.

Since amps are electrical devices compared to speakers, the mechanical vibrations compared to the forces between electrons by the huge power of 10. Hense they can't alter the audio performanse of the amplifier.
