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?

I have a 24x48 and 3” thick solid maple audio platform. It has 5” coasters. I didn’t notice any improvements when I first got it but it sure looks nice

Stands make huge difference

Steer clear of metal and perspexy glassy shelves - horrible

I have had 2 purpose entirely bamboo racks built for me and I am happy

 

Mostly I have found that stands save the amp from collisions with the vacuum cleaner.  And can look good.

Yes, and well isolated from your main rack. I use a mapleshade custom 4in thick maple wood amp stand with spiked footers for my 114lb McIntosh MC 500 and it serves it well.
