Anyone know where to find some good solid metal cones for feet for an amp? The amp is anodized aluminum, so something of the same look is preferable. I'd like to be able to permanently attach them, if possible. any help is much appruciated!

You can PM Peter Daniel on the DIYaudio site. He always uses metal cones for feet on his amps. Check out the Chip amps section of the forum.

Try Tenderfeet. Solid aluminium cones in 1/2inch or 1 1/2 inch, silver or black, threaded.

I made a nice amp stand for my tube amp by using a two inch maple slab and four of the big cones.

This is one of the more cheaper places I've found for isolation feet:
note it comes with the protective disc. I've bought their interconnects too.

Nice amp. If the amp is too light and moves around you can also buy Tendercups to receive the tips and avoid furniture scratches.

simple question; how loud are you guys playing your music that this stuff even moves around from the vibrations??? This seems very strange to me. Why not just use little wooden blocks and leave it at that?

Well, from what I've been told it's electrical vibrations, not sound vibrations, but that's not realy why I got those feet....I got 'em cause they're so sexy lookin!
