Make sure you have a nice slab of hard Maple for a stand. I use a welded wood i.e. flat grain butcherblock but I understand that a well cured thick piece of solid wood is better. There is some debate over edge grain Vs flat grain but to my knowledge end grain is not the best. It is the easiest to find in thick pieces. My amps are on 3 " thick stands which themselves are footed with small comparitively speaking brass cones/spikes into discs.
Check out Mapleshade for ideas. The Edensound person here on the gon has some of the best prices for massive brass feet.
Personally I have used very a un-WAf like home brew memory foam pillow under my preamp with astonishingly good results. I was hoping to get a wood "sand box"and use dense closed cell memory foam layers alternating with layers of tungsten or steel coated lead shot with maybe some big heavy feet. Brass looks like gold because some places actually do electroplat the brass with gold quite the show.
The sound may get overdamped though which would not be so great. If that happens you know it everything becomes a dull thud.
Speedy metals on line says that small orders can be accomodated and I guess you can buy shaped rods of various alloys and have them fabricate what you want.
