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

Yes.
It's not on their web site, yet. I spoke to Symposium Saturday about the 'Fat Padz' and they mentioned the 'Ultra Padz'. They are thicker than the Fat Padz (which are Super +) I was told The 'Ultra Padz' are 1 7/8" tall.

Thanks, Jfrench!
Are you using the Fat Padz between the Symposium platforms and your stock shelves in your rack?

I saw in your system photos that you were using one of the Ultra platforms under your turntable. Where are you using the Svelte and second Ultra?

Symposium now has an Ultra Padz. They are the size of the Fat Padz ( but 1 7/8" tall) and are made like small Ultra's.I believe the Fat Padz were small Super + pads.

I would not want to lose the warmth as you found with your BAT amp and the Fat Padz. Maybe using the 'Ultra' version would work. At $249 for a set of 4, I may have to give them a try.

I could then buy a Svelte or Ultra platform down the road and possibly hear another improvement without spending thousands on new gear!
