What's under your amp?


Interested in hearing the importance (or not) of isolation platforms for amps. Check my system, you'll see I've got my Cary's sitting on top of my cabinet, which is a custom piece made of solid cherry. Very solid, but I'm wondering if maybe the cabinet is introducing vibrations up into the amps, and maybe I could use some help from a platform?

Looks like your question is pretty well beat to death above. I just wanted to chime in with my own absolute success using a SRA VR Base with my Cary 300SEI.

I'll simply say, the improvement is astounding! I have been no stranger to tweaks and have used quite a few isolation systems over the years. I won't say that the SRA beats all of these other systems on every component, but for tube amps such as the Cary, I don't think anything else can touch them. Keep an eye out for the occaisional used SRAs. Just try to get a platform that was designed for a comparable weight (+/- 5 lbs.)

Good Luck.
