In Reply to: RE: considering a DIY amp stand; would granite or marble make good or bad choices? posted by Green Lantern on January 08, 2013 at 15:07:11
Marble or ceramic tiles (stacked to improve stiffness and build up mass), 5 Herbie's thinnest grungebuster dots between each tile, the whole nine yards up on stiff hardened steel springs. One inch tall compressed, the springs are very stable even with high center of gravity loads. Target load for 3 springs 30 lb. Resonant frequency of isolating system 2-4 Hz, depending on direction. Total cost per stand circa $65.

I love ceramic tiles too!! Nice setup.
I like Geoff's set-up. Forget exotic precut wood - too expensive - and not as good as marble or ceramic.
What also works well, is an adobe block. When I lived in NM I used adobe bricks under my Quicksilver monos with good results. And they were free!
Has anyone tried granite? Tweakers are using clear and smokey granite discs with some success. I'm thinking there should scraps available from kitchen counter installations at a reasonable price.
Clear and smokey? Oh, you mean like quartz. I don't think they make granite in clear or smokey yet.
