Aurios under JC1 monoblock's?


My JC1's sit on 1/2" thick glass (can be seen in system pics). I know glass is not the ideal shelf for audio, but I love this rack and don't want to part with it. My question is...
Would my system benefit by putting Aurios Pro's under the amp's? Or would it just be a waste of money. Of course, if I had a couple of spare sets of Aurios laying around, I would just try it, but I don't.

You should put the JC1 on top of the rocket ship instead of under it!

Seriously, if you want to kill two birds with one stone (the 2nd "bird" being to kill any ringing in the glass) then
I'd recommend a number 4 Vibrapod under each foot of the amp. I did my ML 23.5 that way, and it soaks up all the little micro-vibes from the electronics.

In my universe, mechanical diodes such as cones, balls, and rollers, work best for draining off mechanical vibration produced by thinks with motors/mechanisms, like CD players and turntables.

The only device out there that works for both IMO are Stillpoints, if you can afford them. Plus, the Vibrapods will take the ringing out of your shelf, where Stillpoints and the diode devices won't.
One way to get glass to quit ringing is to put another piece of glass (or marble, or granite) on top with a thin sheet of foam (or sorbothane, or blue tack) between them.
