@ervikingo The beauty here is you can make the stands to the exact size you require. I used 1 sheet of 3/4" MDF, 1 quart of gloss paint, spikes I ordered from Amazon and 3 bags of sand. Tools required are a straight edge (homemade), a skill-saw, some carpenter's glue and a handful of finishing nails. A bit on hole filler and some sandpaper. The entire project was completed over a weekend. The total cost was under $100. Satisfaction - Priceless. 🤣
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 @bigtwin I would replace MDF with real wood as MDF releases formaldehyde vapors. Not a fan of that. Either use cheap pine, or splurge for some hardwood. I like to use red oak or maple. MUCH stronger as well. When I make my own stuff, at least I know what materials I used. |
@bigtwin seismic sink with sand is a time tested viable method - no golden ears required :-) all is well. best in music to you jim

@tomic601 No slight on you. I meant to imply I can't hear any difference between amps on the floor or amps on stands. I believe there are a dozen tweaks in my system that made no difference to my hearing on their own, but the accumulated benefits accounts for an improvement I hear. The sum gain is greater than any individual part. Cheers. |
