Amp stand for Antique Sound Lab Hurricane tube amp

Can anyone recommend a good amp stand to set my ASL Hurricane tube amps on? I plan to set them next to my speakers (Vandersteen 5A's). My listening room has a suspended hard wood floor. I am worried about the floor vibrating as well as the ambient sound waves from the woofer on the speaker. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations? I appreciate it.

I can't imagine that any amp stand, as long as it was the right size, would be any better or worse than any other amp stand. Undoubtably, there will be some who can imagine that.

Unfortunately Tarsando, you are completely wrong. There are many different stands to choose from and price ranges from reasonable to expensive, and they all sound different. I have been pleased by the sonics and appearance of the Mapleshade amp stand which was about 300.00.

....if your budget allows ...the sistrum platforms ...especially the sp-101...is outstanding...star sound technology sells them...robert is a very knowledgeable gent..the stands have science behind their function...just a thought

I'd be curious about the ways in which different amp stands effect amp sound. That they differ in appearance and cost is taken for granted. How many amp stands, Rhljazz, did you actually compare to come up with your "favorite"?

If you want a great and cheap amp stand that looks good than go to an ikea and purchase two lack tables make sure you buy the darker wood model I believe its their more expensive model and when I mean expensive I talking around 20.00 bucks. I say that because the other models I am told have hollow legs. If you are handy cut the legs to a disired lenght "just make sure to tape the legs with masking tape before you make the cuts". This makes a great amp stand light,ridged and cheap.
