Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits?


Does an amplifier benefit from a sturdy well-built amplifier rack?

I'm trying to decide whether to buy a new amplifier rack. The one I have is kind of a light weight material made of plastic composite. I am looking at one rack that was made of steel and weighs about 100 pounds, name of the company is sound anchor. Looks like a nicely made amp.

I'm wondering how an amplifier benefits from resting on a Quality built rack or does it really matter?

Is there any problem if I use casters on my amp stands? I never understood how people move their amplifiers without casters. 

I use iso acoustic footers for my subwoofer feet which makes a lot of sense since it vibrates things on tables, the feet absorption helps quite a bit.

Really interesting comment.

My basement has cement floors, of course, and I think there’s benefits of this versus wooden floors but I could be wrong.

Benefits to tube amplifiers is more interesting

Which caps are unnecessary above?  Keep in mind I have a disability and I have to dictate everything and correcting things is difficult.

But I will do my best to adjust my uppercase letters to make you happier.

I so enjoy your extremely lengthy comments. Unfortunately I'm not smart enough to understand what you're saying with my two digit IQ.
