Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable

When buying Butcher Block....make sure it looks like a checkerboard with the grain going in different directions. 

I recently bought a 3" thick bamboo cutting board that I made into the top of turntable stand.  I cannot make a direct comparison because it was for a new turntable, but the system sounds very good.

I'm now using the isoAcoustics Delos, instead of the ButcherBlock Acoustics I had before. It's more expensive, since it has four of their iso-pucks embedded as feet, but I'm happier with it and I'm now able to use my turntable on my equipment racks instead of dedicating a wall shelf for it. 

I use a solid bamboo tray I found in Crate and Barrel or somewhere like that.

I have one of these under my JVC QL-Y66F turntable.  https://butcherblockacoustics.com/products/maple-edge-grain-audio-platform-1-thick

I have the rubber feet on mine, but you can get them with spikes also.  Seems to work great, and very affordable.  I have Symposium platforms in my main system.
