Don't spend too much money on commercial tweaks.

Hi.

Your amp will definitely sound different, better or worse, if you lift it up with anything, be a wooden block or "pin/plate insulator".

I DIYed it. I've planted 3-in-a-set strong steel spikes at the bottom of my tube power amp & SS power amp. The spiked tube power amp is then seated on a 3" thick heavy natural granite block, 'floated on the carpetted concrete slab floor via three rubber legs.

Likewise, my spiked SS power amp, being lighter, is seated on a 1" thick natural marble slate, 'floated' on rubber cushion pads.

It's mass plus isolation that do the trick. It gives me the razor sharp imaging & properly proportional soundstaging I want.
