What's under your Classe Omega, or other big amp?

Hello,

I have a Classe Omega amp - the 250 lbs. Stereo version. My system is in the basement, thus berber on pad on concrete. So far I have it siting on the carpet.

I'm thinking points to replace the amp's feet, then direct on the carpet through to the concrete. Or, on a piece of butcher block (or some hardwood) or granite. And the granite or wood flat on the carpet with the pointed amp on top. Or points under the wood or granite as well.

Any thoughts or suggestions? What are you using?

Thanks,
Jim

I have used a number of items under my Krell monoblocks, both individually and in combinations (bearings, spikes, amp stands, vibrapods, etc), and, in my system, just heavy brass cones/feet perform the best. There is more seperation and air around elements within the soundstage, and a much tighter focus to the sound. Bearings had less air and the elements in the soundstage were less dense; vibrapods were even less so.
YMMV
