TT on Symposium Super Segue - slate or maple underneath?

I've gotten a Super Segue for my VPI Avenger. I have various things on hand I can place under the Symposium. I wasn't sure if a 3" thick maple block would work better than a 1/2" thick piece of slate. The whole thing will be sitting on top of my wooden equipment rack. I know ideally I should try both to see what sounds better, but hauling a 70+ pound TT on and off shelves for listening tests (not to mention moving a 3" thick maple block around) can be a bit of a pain. I'm hoping someone here has had some experience with what they've felt works best under a Segue, so I could try that first.

Hi @bdp24 - couple questions for you re: your use of WallDamp

- how much did you use - 1 layer? more?
- thinking of using baltic birch and something dissimilar, maybe slate as you suggested above - again 1 layer of WallDamp?

I guess this could lead to endless experimentation lol.

thanks

@bdp24 - thanks for your response. So maybe granite floor tiles wouldn't be best?  I can easily get maple and/or other woods here - I live in NC and there are several places I can get solid hardwoods like maple. I have a VPI Prime sitting on MDF shelves which use standard shelf supports on 4 solid maple vertical posts. So maybe maple + WD + some other hardwood? Thoughts? thanks

@bdp24 - thank you for your response/comments. I think I'll try something similar. Not sure yet, will need to think about it and see what's available locally.
