I may do some experimenting with the placement of my ultr minis under my MCD1000 and MDA1000, I'm using 4 on each unit, using the "conventional wisdom" that 4 are more effective than 3.

Believe me, Pete, I--oof!--comprehend the amp weight issue.

Re the UD505, conventional wisdom has triumphed, and with Ultra Minis. Four placed symmetrically under the 9.4-pound DAC produced audibly improved transparency and slam over a three-point configuration.
