It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.

Wasn't too sure whether it would actually make a difference but happy to report that the expensive experiment did make a very positive & notable difference from the get go...

It does have a lovely warm presentation that is not overly analytical. It is in no way a "purist" amplifier, but what it does have is a bit of boost in the lower frequencies, giving it more 'presence' and making it ideal for lower-level listening (as I do), but it also loves some juice if you are that way inclined. The built in DAC is also excellent, making it extremely versatile. It is very well built and solid. Overall an excellent choice for music lovers, more than nit-picking "audiophiles" - this isn't to say it sounds bad, in fact it will only add to your enjoyment of music. The choice of options for the front display is also a nice touch - either "analogue" style or digital V.U. meters, for example (or other options). Note: I don't know what product a previous reviewer is confusing this 7000a with, but it does indeed have "volume and source knobs", as well as a MC phono input (although I didn't get a chance to use it).
