Best wood under audio components?

I am just about finishing my DIY audio rack and wondering about what type of wood would be the best directly under the components? 
I am from Norway and don`t have access to North American maple. Baltic birch plywood is rare also, because we have Norwegian. I would rather have other solid type of wood under my components than plywood, but the efficiency is the major consern, not the outlook.

What type of wood would you recommend?

Thank you! :)

There are 2 levels only on my rack. The top is the TT (VPI Classic 1), the phono (Gold Note PH-10) is under. Both of them are sitting on sandbox. Each sandbox has a tile placed directly on the sand. The middle layer is a tube, and I am trying to find the top layer`s material
I managed to get a maple board (Shun Mook) under my TT, so I am looking for the wood under my phono.

+Both of my studio monitors (Dynaudio BM5 Mk3) under their factory stand (sittin on sand)
 
What would be the wood of your choice? -not maple, not baltic birch ply-
