Thanks
I "think" it's a bit better... but as there's no way to A/B it could be a psychological bent tomake me feel better about it

They were on stands made from 3/4" MDF filled with sand, and open cell rubber padding on the top and bottom (weighed about 30 lbs each) so I don't think there was much sonic coupling... and now instead of a 'footprint" the only solid contact is a 5/16" eyebolt lagged into the ceiling
My decision to make the change was i wanted more rack space at my immediate fingertips, rather than in racks behind, etc, that would have to patched in with cords across the floor (specifically my reel to reel), but I have some other nice outboard gear that would see more use if it was easier to set-up/patch in
