Maple platforms


Hi

I was wondering if anyone has used maple platforms under their turntable and if so what were the results. An exmple of the platforms I'm refering to can be seen at: http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/tweaks/platforms.php

My rack is MDF so I'm wondering if puting something harder between it and the turntable will improve sound. In other words, does the mdf have a damping affect on the turntable--in this case a Rega 3?

Thanks

Hi all,

Surely we need to accept the fact that some resonances will remain no matter what we do. We balance the task of minimizing resonances with a certain degree of picking our poison as far as what remains.

I've posted comments about this on several threads on this forum - agreeing with Dan_ed on the topic of maple.

Having to answer this question on a regular basis, I was prompted to consolidate all stand/shelf commentary into a separate FAQ page.

There's far too much to repeat here, but if you're interested, you can view the following page:
