What isolation feet under your amp with great result?
Can Dan do a 8.5lb version of the fatboy discs?Seems we're already on the same page :-)

@mitch2  outriggers which come out and then up from the base and then horizontal could help lower the speakers, the center of gravity and create a more large and stable base under your speakers? 
What isolation feet under your amp with great result?
@georgehifi  - sorbothane may be fantastic for the AMG or TMD toppers I have been suggesting. Have you personally tried it against springs? It's the broad frequency range of isolation that I believe makes springs still the most used engineering is...

@sgreg1 - Actually I got a granite slab too, and put my springs on top of it!https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8721My amplifier is 98lbs, and I have my DAC and server sitting on top of it, until I can build an isolation bench, low enough to not...

@mitch2 I have given the springs interface to my concrete slab some thought also.Because of the need to as much as possible directly couple with the concrete slab with my stands, I have just purchased some solid copper spikes to go under my stands... 
Concrete Audio Speakers...Speaker Enclosures made out of Concrete ?..
Patented array-technique of the Fraunhofer IDMT – 41 electrodynamic mini-speakers act like one large membrane, allowing for a total depth of only 32 millimetres and giving a convincing performance. But do they sound Tektonical?I don't know, I am... 
USB sucks
+1 dougeyjonesI have heard PS Audio DirectStream, Denefrips Terminator, Chord Hugo, Geisler DACS and quite a few I can't recall the name of, all using USB. Including Grandinote, pity I wasn't there for the MSB session. I used to make Curious Cable...

@mitch2 Experiment with a TMD Tuned Mass Damper on top of your equipment as well as sprung isolation, this could both isolate the vibrations emanating from the device into another, or from others into it.Whatever you use as a rack, remember it's... 
What isolation feet under your amp with great result?
@mitch2 I am going to make a generalization that may help.50% compression under load is a good area to be in relation to mass loading of the spring. However, taking into account the amplitude of vibrations so that the spring will not bottom out, w... 
Why the truth is not in them ??
" millercarbon...that’s the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long time. "Funny, because I have thought for a while now that the greatest threat to the Great American Experiment would come from within. The Great American Experiment was found... 
Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers
@mm1tt77 - depending on where you live, a good option might be to join the " Tekton Design Speakers Worldwide Owners Group " on Facebook.Ask people in there if there’s someone within a reasonable driving distance, and see if you can get an auditio... 
What isolation feet under your amp with great result?
@camb - interesting that he isolated the speakers first. I have also put all of my system items on springs, even power supply you can see in my system page. Funny as he said to use the same method throughout, which I also have done.However the sta... 
What isolation feet under your amp with great result?
@mahlman I was in a hifi store and told the owner about isolation, he was at least curious enough to hear if there was any difference. I put Smalley wave springs (not even optimum for the task) under the best amplifier connected to his best speake... 
Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend
What is the Danish oil finish please?And like the others have said, it does look very nice. Not sure if it's the lighting but it's a nice match with your speakers in the photos of the whole system. The black and wood work well.
