What vibration or mechanical energy are you trying to isolate with a amp stand? Are they just for tube amps to reduce harmonics?
They do look cool sometimes."

So you are trying to isolate the amp. What happens if some vibration reaches the amp? It effects what? The sound?
I know turntables are microphonic, some tube pre/amps also. I have never known a solid state amp that was microphonic.
You have shown me the light before, I just can't wrap my head around this one.

Electrons and atoms as they move generate vibration. You don't want to trap the vibration you want to provide a way for it to leave.Tom

Transistors are affected by vibration, so is the amp's internal wiring, among other things. I have isolated a great many solid state and tube amps, maybe hundreds, including John Curl's JC-1s, the big Jeff Rowland amp, the really big 200 lb Classe amp, CTC Bar-B-Q amp, the BWS mono tube amps with outboard power supplies (600 lb delivered), etc.

So you isolated the amp from itself? How'd you do that? I know how I do that but it ain't isolation because that ain't possible.How's the lateral stability of that spring? Tom
