Isolation platform for the power amps


Hi, I have Odyssey Stratos Power amp. at present, it is on the rack. In future, it plan to have Mono blocks and may put them on the floor. Which isolation platforms is appropriate? Not looking for extotic > $ 150 ones ! Thank you.

Oh yeah, You better tape three sides before adding the sand, otherwise  you'll just make a mess!
I have a cheap alternative. It's for a hybrid isolation platform you can experiment with to see what works for you. you can take apart and redo with the parts until you get what your after. Start with two 18"x18" granite or slate tiles from your local big box hardware store and some duct tape. Space the tiles with wood blocks or whatever you have to the width you want. Then fill with sand/shot or a mixture Also try brass rods or slugs. Then tape the end closed. Add a layer of wood to the top or not, and just experiment. If you find what works and want a pretty one. Contact me! I would add pics of a couple of my designs but I don't know if that's possible or allowed.

Ha ha hah h, ah, hmm. So, once I charge my 'crystals with the 7.34 htz. pulse generator "The guy in China whom made swears it works", I then manufacture a ground loop using a token ring topology, When the storm comes close I don the requisite aluminium foil headgear "retwisting the horns til tuned" and begin my Gregarian chant while contemplating the zen of the void per Myamoto Musashi. Then I finish the bottle of tequila, bark at the moon and when I wake up I cannot feel any of the vibrations whatsoever. But my head usually hurts for a bit. Or at least until I make bail. What do you do Tweak?
And I do find that the "butcher block type of isolation platform/plinth doesnt work very well. It seems that "Mass rules" when it comes to wood and vibrations/resonance ect.. The abrupt density changes don't help either when the waveforms are longer than the 1" piece glued to the 1.3" piece glued to the....
The coupling/decoupling sequence seems to be generally overlooked. Even "as" a sequence. Doesn't anyone else here measure? Or at least try it and listen!
Hee hee, I never said it "was", rocket science. Yet I don't see it often enough. But you can also use the high mass layers as differentially sequenced frequency attenuators by utilizing different strata's with their own specific characteristics. Unless you just "Really, really", like rocks, granite ect... Me? I like shiny things.
Uh huh, You mean the "Big boy's", whom still cannot decide whether gravity is actually a wave or particle "effect",? Let alone prove it? And there's a guy in the corner shouting, "It's the wave effect (on) particles!", Those guys?
     Please don't put all your eggs in one basket mister...
    Yeah, I DID work for NASA too. That and 50 cents will get me a cheap cup of coffee.
So your saying that the wave's in water are "not", made up of particles? "A gravity wave is simply a manifestation of gravity."?????   Which of course means that YOU Jeff, MUST have solved it! Define and expound please!       Seriously, Where did ya get that from? That may well be someone's "theory" but based on what? At this time, that's all that it is, 
A "theory". Hee hee hee.   Yer killin me over here Jeff.....Ha ha ha ha




Well Jeff since it sounds like you were absent at class for quite some time while I was learning. And since your comments are beginning to make you look silly.  And of course because you "obviously" know, please explain what gravity is....
      Especially since we do not even have a completed theory "of" gravity let alone a complete model.. As the best known of the four fundamental forces "gravity" seems to be thought of as basic science and easily explainable by most people. It is not. Einstein's calculations seemed to lead to gravity being the "warping of space time", but we don't know what it is or the why of it. ALL work done with gravity calculations is like working with "Ohm's Law", which of course is no 'law", at all, is it Jeff? Or did you solve that all by your lonesome as well?
  I don't come here to argue. I come here to learn.
       Besides, without gravities effects my turntable wouldn't even exist! Would it? But maybe if I could modulate the gravitational pull at the center point of the music groove I could......................
