Granite under your amp???

according to Mapleshade records they have tested all possible platforms over the years and found maple (go figure) buthcher blocks to be the best, even over 100+lb slabs of marble and lead, I haven't done the experimenting to confirm this

Hi Brianmgrar,Under Tech Talk there is a lot of good information on threads-Isolation vs. Absorbtion and Shelf Marerial.

Under Misc. Audio look for the thread-Amps Stands-Do They Work.

There was one called Footers/Shelf Material. Try doing a search.

thick 24inch x 24inch on a side with beveled edges. cost abt 500 bucks for 2 (edges were expensive) they weighg abt 50 lbs+ each. But my ml requests now have a nice base that keeps the spikes from going through the floor.

Gtejr, you simply set your spikes on the granite? If so, isn't it easy to slide them around on the granite?

Did you notice any change with these bases?

Brianmgrarcom, I too set my speakers w/spikes on granite. Believe it or not, it's not that easy to slide a spiked speaker on the granite. The spikes dig in and if your speakers are heavy enough, will scratch the granite.

My granite sits on hardwood floors - I have three small felt pads under the granite which allow me to position the speakers/granite with ease.
