Maple or Granite

I have a Voyd TT and have now tried both maple and granite under the TT. With granite I get a very lively sound the keeps you up on your toes. At times it can be to much so I orderd a Mapleshade 4" platform and tried it under the TT. With instruments such as a sax or trumpet the sound is almost addictive as there is so much air and realism about it. The sound of a panio playing in the background of said instruments is all but lost on the maple. Cymbels are not as clear also.

I am going to try a HRS M3 that is granite and wood together. Maybe I can find the best of both worlds in the HRS.

Anyone else have the same experence as I had with both platforms?

How does maple sound under a tube amp?

Neuance platforms are not to be found on the 'Gon. I E-mailed my specs to the owner of Neuance and never heard back. Wally Tools?

Somehow with my order with Mapleshade the size came out being the same size as the Voyd in width and 1'' longer.
MS told me to returm it to get a 1'' over size plateform. He told me the improvement would be less than 5%. Any thoughts. $40.00 to ship and $40.00 back. He told me if it had holes in it he could not resall it. I asked hom how he does a 30 day MB if his cones are stuck into the Maple for 30 days. His answer was no one returns them. Anyone have trouble returning platforms to MS?
