SME owners, what is your table sitting on?


I am just about to take delivery of my new SME 20/12A and am deciding on the best stand/support system for it.
What do you have your SME table sitting on?
Do you use supplemental footers and/or shelves?
I have been looking at the various offerings from HRS, SRA, Finite Elemente and GP Audio. But I can't afford a complete rack system from these guys. So thinking of building something really heavy then using shelves and footers etc to tune.
I have suspended wood floors.
Your thought would be most appreciated.

Hi, I used to own a SME 20/2, SME IV.Vi. I took off the rubber grommets so the steel balls contact directly the following combos:

1)Arcici Suspense Rack
2)Arcici with Symposium Fat Padz
3)Aricici Symposium Ultra shelf
4)Arcici, Symposium Ultra + Fat Padz
5) Finite Elemente Master Pagode rack
6) Finite + Cerapucs

I'd have to say the most cost effective is the Symposium Ultra Shelf. It makes a major difference and doesn't seem to care what it's sitting on. Much lowering of the noise floor allowing all sort so details to emerge better.

The Finite + Cerapucs is slightly better but at a much higher cost. Seems to be slightly more lively.

Also, power cords on the motor controller are highly recommended.
Shunyata's are great. I got my hydra vray2 after i sold my sme.

I loved the Purist Dominus Ferrox on my SME motor controller....
