Great ideas, I think I am going to build myself two mono block stands.
This place sells hard woods for a project like this.
Good Luck..
Recommendations for custom amp stands?
My new amps (Jadis JA-200 MkII) do not fit on my current stands and they are odd sized".
I have some ideas on how to adapt my current stand and a homemade solution (I am fairly handy) but wonder about any custom stand makers that wont break the bank.
I need 2 stands to fit 2 12"x27" chassis each or 4 stands to 1 12"x 27" chassis each.
Thoughts?
+1 @tomic601 - wood is generally a good component platform, but other audio specific supports (shelves, footers) are noticeably better. Makes me wonder which benefits more, tube or SS? I suspect tubes because of higher microphonics |
I think tubes for exactly reason you state…. microphonics are not a matter of IF but in band or out and how much ? For the DIY crowd i suggest Panzerholtz ….. although even my Bricasti Solid State renderer benefits from a Panzerholtz shelf on HRS Nimbus. The Bricasti products come w excellent feet baseline. Thereis a great source for Panzerholtz on USAM |
When I built my sand boxes, pictured above, I simply bought dry "Play Sand" at Home Depot. $10 per 50 lb bag. Needed three. Do they make any difference? My ears aren't that golden, but the concept of sand for vibration isolation is well documented and I wanted the amps off the floor. So I'll assume there is a benefit, whether I hear it or not, like so many tweaks in this hobby. At least this one is affordable and serves a purpose. Cheers. |
