Sound anchor amp stands

it's worth getting any amp off the floor, if only to promote air circulation/cooling. i used a sound anchor in the past but have recently chosen a zoethecus amp stand in its stead. my amp is quite heavy and has hollow legs into which furnished spikes may be inserted. the zoethecus stand uses a shelf constructed as a multi-layer "sandwich." placing my amp on the zoethecus lowered the noise floor . the sound anchor did not do this, which i guess was due to the spike-to-metal contact between the amp and stand. the sound anchor did not, however, produce any perceived detriments in the output quality of the amp.

albert: tho i don't do photography of audio equipment, as you do, i also have collected a whole drawer full of various feet, cones, balls (as in bearings), etc. over the years. maybe we should throw all this stuff together and hold an audiogon garage sale. (now that i've written it, intended in jest, i think this might actually be a good idea; i know some audio clubs have these kind of sales.) *** BTW, for those new to this site, albertporter's photos are true works of art. one of my favorite recent images (the benz cartridge as "guitar pick") is on the "opening page" of musicalsurroundings.com. give it a look.
