Granite under wood for better isolation?

I may give that a try. I did try the granite under the MDF and still prefer the MDF alone so far.

I ended up getting a 3 inch thick maple platform. Wow, I am very happy. Very natural. The best my records have ever sounded. I have vibrapod isolators under the maple platform. i could not be happier. I am suprised at how much better the table tracks records now. Its amazing how much their is to learn in this hobby.

I have no choice but to keep my turntable up higher. My dog listens with me sometimes and she may get too curious.

I have done some research on the web and it seems that Sorbothane and granite seem to work well together. Has anyone tried these sheets?

It could be that my catridge and arm work better with the wood.. The instruments just sound more natural and I get less inner groove vibration with the thick maple. One thing I may do is Lower my table so I get more soundstage. The maple is very dense and is in the wrong place as far as at my ear level. Once I move it lower I think I will be very very happy. The wood isolates better for me than the granite. I do understand what you are saying by the turntable liking the granite. The wood and granite both have their own sonic signature. I have gone back and forth but so far the maple is winning.

Tony, I see your plinth is already solid wood. Nice table by the way. Maybe with that being the case, the granite may be the perfect fit.

I will have to try that.

Believe it or not, I just bought a sheet of MDF from Home Depot. They cut it to size and it is actually the best so far. Better than the maple or granite. I have it under 4 Vibrapod isolators. 5 bucks. In fact, it is by far the best. I put the Maple wood under my isolation transformer. The Granite has not worked for me so far and the most expensive as well.

I will probably chage out the Vibrapods down the road but I am shocked. It sounds great so far....

Audiogalore, in what order Granite on top, then cork, rubber, and MDF?
