Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?

Wood you believe?

Yep Photon46, exactly why all the shelves my gear rests on is solid Maple butcher block 2.5" thick.

I have not tested all the possibilities but Maple is excellent.

I agree with Newbee, your equipment will sound different with wood footers compared to Sorbothane or brass points. Some Audiogon members say Maple is best and others like composite materials.

As pointed out, you can cut up a few pieces at Home Depot or maybe pick up scraps of various woods at your local lumber yard. These scraps should be free.

If you don't like the sound, use them to start your next BBQ :^).

Bojack,

Are you still able to listen to John Mayall doing "Back To The Roots" with that tree there?

Bojack, How does it work out when you play "Bark" by the Jefferson Airplane?

Your moniker seems to indicate that you work for Boulder Amp of Colorado. Is that correct?
