Symposium 'Fat Padz' and SS amps

Has any member tried the Symposium Fat Padz under their heavy (100# +) SS amp? They get great reviews for their larger Super + and Ultra platforms and this seems like a good inexpensive palce to experiment with isolation / coupling. The 'Fat Padz' are 3 or 4 small Super + blocks.

Thanks

I've tried the FatPadz under my BAT VK75SE. About 75 lbs or so. I love the symposium stuff. Have two ultra shelves and one svelte. I didn't like the padz under my amp. Lost the warmth. I like them best used as footers in between the shelves...

YMMV. Good luck.

Since those photo's were posted, I now have another Ultra under my phono stage and svelt and regular padz under my digital.

Basically, with the sysposium stuff I usually here a good lowering of the noise floor...which allows deatails and dynamics to emerge. The Shelves...seem to keep the warmth..while the padz and the roller blocks do not.

You will hear a difference. It's worth trying the fat padz. Right now, I have them under my turntable motor controller...which then sits on a Ultra next to the turntable.

I also like the DH Sound Jumbo cones...
