What's under your amp?


Interested in hearing the importance (or not) of isolation platforms for amps. Check my system, you'll see I've got my Cary's sitting on top of my cabinet, which is a custom piece made of solid cherry. Very solid, but I'm wondering if maybe the cabinet is introducing vibrations up into the amps, and maybe I could use some help from a platform?

Can anyone here explain what the mechanism is that would excite something inside a ss amp that vibrates because it is not "isolated"?

Is it not besides the point to use a platform when air-borne vibrations will strike the amp nonetheless and, assuming there is a mechanism that somehow affects the sound coming out of it, cause problems?

Why not build a concrete shelter in the backyard and run longer cables?

Pretty sad when you can't see that mega buck power amp looming in your room though.
