Problem with maple under headphone amp

I don't get that with my setup and if you take a look at my System pics, you'll see that I use a serious amount of maple. However, when I placed my TT on the maple slab that my amp is currently on, I did hear a softening overall, so I changed that.

Have you seen this site, this guy loves Spruce? I don't know about the bass, but if you contact him I'm sure he'll have an opinion about what to try.

They will sell large planks, you can cut and finish...

What is your experiance with myrtlewood. How does it sound compared to your other experiances and my maple com???ments

I went to a local cabinet shop, they had 3'x9' plank about 4 inches thick. $100. God, what a beautiful piece of wood. It makes walnut look like plywood. I had the guy cut large slabs/blocks to put under my units. Another $25. I now have the most beautiful cutting board in my kitchen as an unexpected bonus.

I did this for aesthetics, not sound. My 53 year old ears don't notice any real sound difference, maybe it's my gear and my old ears. But it looks great, and I know that if there is a difference, I've done it top of the line. Looking at it makes my listening experience more enjoyable.
