Amp Stands - Wood or Stone
I'm in the process of relocating my audio equipment to a side wall and need to place my amps, AGD Audions, on something. Floor is carpeted. Stands will be very small and won't be supporting much weight. I have access to granite, marble, etc. (next to nothing scape from remodel jobs). Also, have pretty good relationship with a serious wood worker who is happy to cut maple, oak, cherry, most any hardwood, etc. Cost is not really an issue just looking for an opinion / logic around which material I should use. At this point, I'm thinking 1 1/2 to 2 inch thick walnut on some kind of cone / spike legs. Sorry for maybe a dumb question!
@mijostyn I'm surprised the "moderators" and people on here who swear by the materials used for amp stands are tolerating your opposing opinion. I agree with you. I posted on this thread that I bet a person would fail a blind a/b test and was essentially attacked for having such an opinion. They scolded me, called me a "hustler", and removed my comments. Why? For being a newbie and disagreeing with their claims. |
Maybe it's just my ridiculously sensitive hearing and hyperactive neurons, or maybe it's all the tubes in my phono amps, preamp and power amps, but I can hear differences in the sound of different supports beneath the amplifiers. Quasi-authoritative proclamations that this is impossible indicate that your situation may differ entirely. |
Your combative stance and attitude is likely what got your post removed. If I went on ASR and challenged the nerd types that all amps sound different, I would probably have the same reception. You aren’t the only one around here with your viewpoint. But others are smart enough to temper it. If not, their posts meet the same fate. |
