Turntable platform material

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

I have a solid maple Mapleshade turntable slab (24x18x4) atop one of their Samson equipment racks. For the last couple of months, one of my audio-buddies has been raving about the benefits of using bamboo. He has been getting bamboo cutting boards from IKEA and has been putting them under all of his components to -- what he says -- is great effect. He had been using Mapleshade Isoblocks.

So I'm wondering if any of you guys has tried putting bamboo under your turntable. Maple does have a bit of "ring" to it when subjected to the knuckle-rap test, but I cannot tell if its affecting the sound or not.

Thanks.
