Solid Support for Superb Sound from Your Amp
Get that big, honking amp off the floor and set it on top of a Solidsteel S3-A Amp Stand. Whether you've got a boat anchor of a mono amp, stereo amp, home theater amp, or some kind of esoteric amp, they all need the solid, performance enhancing support that the S3-A will provide.
So what's wrong with just putting your amp on the floor? Plenty. For one thing, it probably isn't getting the airflow it requires to run its best, especially if you're setting it on carpet. And an amp on the floor is subject to room vibrations that can get into the signal chain and adversely affect sound.
A good equipment rack is as essential as good cables, a powerful amplifier, and a revealing turntable. Because no matter how much you spend on your gear, you're wasting your money if your gear isn't resting on a support mechanism that provides isolation, rock-solid stability, and vibration-free performance.
Advanced Design and Enhancements
The Solidsteel S3-A Amp Stand provides a nice step up from S2 Series racks, thanks to S3 Series enhancements. These include support tubes containing damping material for added resonance control plus an increase in weight capacity of 132 lb. per shelf versus 110 lb. per shelf for S2 Series racks.
For your amp, the S3-A's single shelf is 23" width and 16.9" depth. The assembled stand is 4.9" tall and weighs 15.4 lb.
New S3 Series Enhancements
The new S3 Series draws inspiration from decades of production of the popular Series 3, Series 5, and Series 6 racks. For over twenty years, Solidsteel engineers have studied these series in terms of materials and overall design with results culminating in the latest and greatest S3 racks. These new racks also draw upon technology developed for Solidsteel's flagship Hyperspike product line.
Solid Shelving and 'Filled' Aluminum Supports
A good equipment rack is as essential as good cables, a powerful amplifier, and a revealing turntable. Because no matter how much you spend on your gear, you're wasting your money if your gear isn't resting on a support mechanism that provides isolation, rock-solid stability, and vibration-free performance.
The S3-A boasts a rigid MDF shelf and new, non-welded aluminum tubular supports. Aluminum is lighter than steel, ridiculously strong, non-magnetic, and an excellent damping material. By eliminating welding from the equation, S2 racks eliminate resonances that develop in hollow welded posts. Unwanted energy and vibrations cannot seep into your rack.
And speaking of damping, the aluminum tubular supports are filled with damping material to reduce resonance and room vibrations that can compromise the quality of music reproduction. Solidsteel's adjustable stainless steel spike feet are included for another degree of isolation and to provide convenient leveling. Protective floor discs are also included.
Elegant Italian Design
Solidsteel S3 Series audio racks are designed in Italy and feature elegant Italian design with clean lines that blend in with any aesthetic. Say goodbye to clunky looking racks and say "ciao" to unstinting stability and precise imaging for new levels of audiophile fulfillment.
