This is where I am a little confused

Maple is really hard and hard things are really good transmitters of sound. Perhaps its better than glass but if I'm going to replace the glass shelf why maple? I hope this doesn't come off as snarky because I don't mean it to be. I am genuinely curious. Even VPI suggests maple. Why not a rubber/foam puck under the feet or something, something that is better at absorbing sound energy?

Where do you recommend I get the maple?

Thanks!

Nate
