Would a real butcher block be going to far?
My original plan was to purchase a couple of kiln dried maple slabs from the lumber yard to put under my equipment.
Being into antique furniture I decided to look around on Facebook marketplace and was able to find true old world butcher blocks from butcher stores and old farmhouses.
Companies like Butcher Block Acoustics are edge grained and get $200 and up for units that are 2 inches thick or more. Depending on what you would like to order.
Old true butcher blocks are hard maple end grain, which I believe is better, and generally run 10 to 15 inches thick.
These can be had for as little as $250.
I am curious if anyone on here has ever went to this extreme.
My system is comprised of an Eversolo dmp-a6 streamer, Peachtree Carina integrated and Tekton Impact (not double Impacts) tower speakers.
Power distribution is via a Shunyata PS8 with a High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Helix plugged in to it.
All of my cables and cords are from Audio Envy.
