Mapleshade or Butcher Block Acoustics


Needing an amp stand for my Pass XA 30.8 and from what I am reading, maple is the way to go.

So, does anyone have experience between Mapleshade and Butcher Block Acoustics?

flip49er,

I have Mapleshade planks under stuff. No company offers a SOLID chunk of wood. They are all multiple pieces glued together.  Likely, impossible to offer a real, one piece of 4" maple for a price someone is willing to pay?  I believe laminated is structurally stronger than one piece, so less chance of warpping.

Mapleshade does a great job with their marketing of them. How could an Amish finished piece of wood NOT improve life?

Everyone's experience will be different, as mentioned in posts. I THINK I hear improvement with them under my table,CD and sub?I had an unused one, so it went under the amp. That move for whatever reason, seems to add a subtle bump in increased reality? Whatever it is, the planks make my $150 Sanus rack look not so plain.

Also had slabs under the floorstanders(cherry stained to match-stunning) Ditched them because the room is now hardwood and couldn't hear any sonic benefit between carpet/wood floor.
