Red2 has some good points and good advice.
I just had a 20x30 inch piece of granite cut and polished as the base for my Aries to sit on..According to the maker, granite is much better than even marble for isolation and resonance control. I use a Plateau audio rack on spikes through carpet to the slab floor.Then MDF board as a sub base, and finally the granite base perched on Tip-Toe type cones for the table to sit atop.
Isolation is the key here. What ever stand you choose, you want to make sure its level, isolated from the floor with spikes or such, provides a good base to put your isolating device like the granite slab, Cloud 10,Black Diamond shelf/pucks or wood block on. Good luck!--Ken
