Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable


When using a maple butcher block under a turntable, what is below the butcher block?  Cone?  Soborthane pucks?  Does it just lay on the shelf?  What are people using and how of they mounting the block?  How are they mounting the table on the butcher block?

I use this block ontop of Mapleshade Isoblocks:

I have two turntables, a Mofi StudioDeck that features sprung-loaded feet and a Triangle Art Concerto with upgraded platter; the platter is much more massive than the standard model platter and the base+platter easily weighs 40 lbs.

The MoFi seemed to like being on the cutting board with the Mapleshade Isoblocks isolating it from the rack. It didn’t seem to like Rollerblocks under the cutting board and it hated having Isoblocks under the turntable’s spring feet. I assumed the feet were designed to work with a certain amount of feedback from the surface they sit on.

The Triangle Art gear have little rubber nub feet. I can’t say that being on vs being off the board makes any difference but I haven’t tested this extensively since moving it around is a pain in the butt. I’m torn between putting the large TA speed controller box on the board or off -- currently its on.
