So few of the geniuses above provide any practical, REAL, scientific insight into what Janka Scale hardness might be best for TT isolation. Why don't you just say you're not certain rather than bloviating about what might work?
How does wood hardness affect the sound of a TT on a wood TT platform?
I'm interested in purchasing a Butcher Block Acoustic TT platform for my Luxman PD-171A TT. The Maple Block has a Janka Wood Hardness Scale of 1450 while the Walnut is rated at 1010. How does the hardness of wood affect the sound ? Trying to decide which way to go.
