Placing components on solid flooring vss rack


I recently experimented, like I do often, and placed all of my components on solid wood flooring, which is concrete underneath. I immediately noticed a significant improvement in virtually all aspects of sound quality. More focused presentation, bass is more solid/tight, and better sound stage.

Perhaps my audio rack is quite inferior and not as stable as I once thought.

In addition, since my rack is now vacant, I placed my subwoofer on top of the rack. Again, the audio improvement, this time in sub-bass, was not subtle, the room is better pressurized at lower volumes.

Needless to say, I was astonished by the results!

I bought 1/2 inch thick hardwood wood and placed my components on the wood with iso footers under my gear. Might not look the best but I too noticed a improvement. I wanted to do maple blocks for each piece of gear but I thought the prices ludicrous.
