Does highend heavy amps needs ampstands?


I know for sure that my CDP needs good support but how about big amps. My big Rowland 8 is now directly on the wood floor bween the speakers. How does floor vibration effect sound on amps? Any particular amp stand to recommend?

Sistrum platforms/racks are just the thing for big ass amps. Little ass too. Go on their website:audiopoints.com for the deal. Speak to Robert. He be da man over there. If you've never coupled, you're in for a real treat. peace, warren
I heartily second Warren's suggestion as to the Sistrum platforms/racks. I got amazing results with these in my system. By far the best isolation devices I've tried (and believe me I've tried a few).
My Forté 4A also responds very well to energy draining and damping. I use three Goldmund cones under and they have eased and relaxed musical presentation and HF response. Used hockey pucks under the cones (25 cents each) also helped with focus. I plan to use Dynamat Extreme under the top plate. I would not like to place anything in the fins that could interfere with heat dissipation, though...
