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?

Hi Glory, my experience is exactly the same as yours. I went from a maple butcher block to granite. I get the most incredible detail from my system but I now hear sibilance on some vocals.

If you do get a nice compromise, please post on the forum.

Thanks
Paul
