A modular and reconfigurable stand is provided. The stand has legs that support bolt plates and the bolt plates are bolted to brace assemblies. The brace assemblies support shelves. The brace includes structurally identical cross damping support arms. The brace assembly also includes structurally identical first and second brace mounts. Each of the cross damping support arms is connected to each of the first and second brace mounts, and the brace mounts are connected to two legs. Double damper brace assemblies are also provided. In another embodiment a modular performance stand is provided having cross damping support arms that are connected to first and second modular shelf mounts having channels. The channels support four or more isolator elements. The modularity of the cross damping support arms and modular shelf mounts allows the width and depth of the modular performance stand to be varied to optimize performance.
