Whats the best platform/support for Hydra

I have just bought an original Hydra/Anaconda to replace(possibly)a Hydra 8/Mojave.
The 8 was on a rigid & vibration free rack - hard cones improved the clarity/dynamics as/manual.
Because the original is so heavy it was placed on the floor - thought it was better initially then the dynamics vanished. Placing on a heavy sheet of glass supported by cones restored dynamics big stlye but lacks bass ?
Also can't see how a 15amp fuse can better a Carling breaker - solid slug/uprated fuse ?
Roksan Xerxes/Linn Sondek/Nu-Vista amp & cd/Virgo 111s/REL sub-woofer/Select & HMS cables/Shunyata pc's/dedicated consumer unit+Kimber ring main.

After much experimenting I found that I like my original Hydra (not 8) best on a German Copulare rack, the Hydra directly on top of Aurios Pros and the rack itself on Aurios Pros.

For a while I thought that I like the Hydra on Stillpoints but then it seemed that dynamics had vanished (I have yet to find a case where I prefer the Stillpoints to the Aurios).
