Amp Stands, Butcher Blocks Etc.

Zar,

Since you don't appear to have tubes or a TT - vibration control is probably a mute point. Why not go with what the wife wants...I see no reason to go in this direction other than for macho display purposes...just two cents.

Timbernation makes nice stuff, reasonably priced. You can see a couple of their amps stands on my system page. They also list many on auction here. If the size is what you need, they can be a bargain. Cheers,
Spencer

I have all my equipment on multiple low stands. Low stands are best for equipment placed between and behind speakers, best isolation and minimal inteference with soundstaging and imaging.

I have my amp sitting on an Ultrasonic custom made acrylic platform spiked into Aurios Pro Max's, sitting on a 400 pound concrete slab. This is a huge improvement over every other isolation scheme I've tried.
