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?

If you run out of stoppers, look at what these guys offer - platinum silicone in different shapes and sizes with adhesive backing.  The little sizes make nice replacement feet for peripheral items (i.e., power supplies, switches, and other digital doo-dads) and the big sizes can be used for anything up to subs and large speakers.  They provide spring-like isolation plus damping.

I assume Panzerholz is one of the d’woods you are talking about.

There are some respected equipment designers using that material in chassis and equipment bases.  Here is some reading from one manufacturer.
