This part of the hobby is hit or miss. I'm a cheap kid, so i try to make less expesive gear sound good with the mounts, and am usually successful. BUT, it all depends on where you think your system needs improvement. looks like you have good gear & cabling...nicer than mine probably!if you like the sound, if it entrances you, don't change a thing. If you want to improve the sound, start at the source.
Moving your amp to a floor mount is avery, very good idea too. i recomend tonewood, like maple.
Seems like stone has been a fav for years, and for some applications it might work. I go by the assumption that materials which musical instruments are made from can be good for the reproduction of music as well...basic Mapleshade theory i guess you'd call it.
For some reason, air dried maple and brass (what most drums, geetars & horns are made from) transform the performance of some of my gear. the benefit to my turntable is undeniable and not subjective. most of the other mounts are to a dgree though.
to date i've not successfully tweaked a cd player with a mount, other than laying cardboard under mine (which works well)...but analog gear seems to benefit bigtime.
The weight of a mount/material does not mean it will sound good...at all. When you set a piece of gear on something, that something will vibrate. try to make that something have a vibration which is musical...this is why instrument builders use that material as well.
above all else search the archives here, loads of info. try the other asylums too, like Amp/Preamp for info specific to that gear.
