Granite under wood for better isolation?


I have some slabs of granite and I would like to know if I ordered 2 inch thick maple to go over (lay on top of the granite) the granite would this work to provide good isolation for my turntable and CD player? I do not like the sound of the granite alone.

Sand is your answer. Maple deadens the music. Put the granite into a sand box. All ringing will be gone.
Dan ed, I don't understand. I don't use granite anymore, but my granite in sandboxes where the granite had no contact with the side of the sandboxes, never rang.

I doubt if there is much benefits in having the granite under the StillPoints. I am assuming that you have just a shelf under the granite.
Tzh21y, this all suggests how different things work in some systems and not in others. I can only stand Vibrapods under things that have nothing to do with music. I tried MapleShade maple board and their special feet also, but returned them immediately.

I have many polished pieces of granite for free to anyone coming by to pick them up. I will not ship unless you pay me a $1000 each to pack them. :)
Dan_ed, the granite sounds pretty. I certainly would not argue with that. Have you tried the granite on top the component? Sony once made components with granite tops.
