Ghosthouse..sorry for not being clearer in what I said. Monitor speakers are on spiked Osiris stands coupled to the floor, I left them that way. I have two amp stands, one for cdp and the other for int. amp. Whole racquetballs are inserted into pvc end-caps. One for each corner. Simply wedge a ball into the end-cap, it will wedge in about half way. Simply turn this concoction upside down so that the flat part of the end-cap rests under the corner of the amp stand and the ball rests on the floor (x4). I did this for both amp stands.
In my case, I have a concrete floor and with spiked amp stand corners the instrument timbre was way off. Piano sounded "plinky" etc. By doing what I suggested, and by decoupling in the manner I described, it put everything right, almost analogue like..
Herbies Audio Lab products further helped do dampen the tube micro phonics in my system and I have a huge and airy sound stage as a result with no loss of dynamics. Worked for me and my ears.
Hope this helps.
