Currently, a Neuance is under my cdp. It is supported by a wall mounted maple shelf with steel brakets. I was using an mdf shelved floor rack with isolation between the maple and mdf before getting the Neuance. It was easy to hear the superior performance of the Neuance on the floor rack compared to the maple shelf and an even a greater improvement with the more rigid wall mount stand.
Maple, solid vs butcher block, vs other materials
I recently bought the highly touted Marantz SA-14 SACD player. Sounds excellent, but about the same as the 10 year old Krell that it replaced. I expected more, both of CD and of SACD playback. I have heard that setup is very important with this player.
I am about to try my favorite power cord, but I am thinking that I might want to put the player on different material.
It now sits on a stand (that can be seen in my ad for the Krell Studio on this site) made of walnut veneered plywood.
I am looking for suggestions.
I have heard good and bad about granite (other than the negative about the cost)
I have heard that maple is a great, but what type?
The advantage of getting a good thick butcher block is that if it doesn't help, I could use it in the kitchen. The one sold at Mapleshade would be useless if it doesn't work well.
Is another material better?
Should I just forget the base material?
