Granit amp stands are they killing my sound?

Syntax, could you please describe the effect of placing a Vibraplane under your Lamm amps? I have one under my turntable, and I agree with you. It is so effective that I closed that chapter.

I have heavy SS amps sitting directly on my floor. I'd like to try two Vibraplanes under them, but it will be an expensive experiment. Any advice or comments you may have would be appreciated.

Hello Peter,
what I heard in the very first second was a different sound staging. More like a view into a Hall, very clean details and a pure tone.
Not a change in tonality you can read from users when they try different stands, hard to describe, my first reaction was "Huh???" (I was not really expecting that, I thought, ok, the usual little bit from this here and there...) but it is amazing when you listen to records with a deep soundstage (London from 1960 for example)...or Adele, Live at The Royal Albert Hall :-)

Thanks Syntax. Those results seem impressive. Are your amps the Lamms with tubes, SS or hybrid? Do you think the most improvement with the VP would be with tube amps or would SS also benefit so dramatically?

I'm thinking of getting two of the active units with a compressor in the basement.

Sorry to sidetrack this discussion about granite amp stands.

Hi Peter,
the first experience was done with ML2.1, later with M1.2R

Peter,
You shouldn't need to locate the compressor in the basement (if you're going to use a compressor like the Jun-Air). My Vibraplane's compressor is so quiet, it sits out in the listening room, no more than a few feet from my listening position - even if it happens to kick on while listening, all you hear is the click of the relay tripping, it runs for about 20 seconds, and that's it. I believe they were designed to run dental tools - sharp pointy instruments and sudden loud noises don't go well together! Aesthetically, the compressor is a bit of a conversation piece too.
