Im thinking about adding an amplifier block under my Krell FPB 600. Right now it sits on top of my hardwood floor. Does anyone recommend them and what kind , where to find them.
Procure some thick maple butcher block and some brass cones. Spike wood to floor and sit amp on cones. It will improve focus and sweeten the sound and even if the effect is minimal, it will look good.
Everything you do will make the sound different. I use Audio Points, but have used Cardas Blocks, et al. Try the little cans of tomato paste in their side...point them in different directions to prevent the amp from rolling around....(this is serious...you might like the sound of the cans the best....brings out the spaciousness and air around the instruments)
My amplifier sits on a concrete patio square I bought for $3 at a big chain building supply store. The concrete block is up on some old Tiptoes I owned (I could have used anything, even some strips of wood to lift the slab off the rug).. And the amp is up on #10 butyl rubber bottle stoppers on top of the slab. Total cost pretty small. I am a cheapskate.
Mainly I want the amp off the floor so no bugs climb in.. It is hidden behind a chair anyway, so I have no aesthetic reasons for a stand.
