Shield Amp from preamp? suggestions?


Recently got a Classe Cav-301...Placed it on the rack below my Integra Research Pre...I know they are affecting each other because of a slight buzz, the music and HT sounds slightly thin...and even on the digital volume display on my Integra I can see it sometimes "jitter"....When I first tested the amp I had it on the floor and it sounded awsome, but in the rack I hear the slight loss of quality..even in the Classe manual it says to keep the amp a few feet away from preamps, turntables etc. .Now of course I could move the amp, however this involves major reconstruction, new cables , power cords etc. Is there a simple way to shield the amp from the preamp like placing some type of shield under the preamp?

Purist Audio manufacturers an isolation base that you can place between the two components. I have had good success with these and their appearance is attractive (gloss black plate).
Darrylhifi, I have some spare Purist Isolation devices and I would loan you one or two for a test. You would be expected to pay shipping both ways and return them in good condition.

If they work you can find a dealer and order as mine are not for sale.
