  Leave the wooden boards for chopping up your meat and veg...try granite plinths (20mm thick is good) with sorbothane feet. Then use cones (Nordost Pulsar Points are excellent) between your components and the granite plinths.

  Sit back and enjoy...

    I was very unpleased with even a 1.25" thick maple board (sucked the life out). I prefer a 3/4" Acacia board (much better). A more resonant wood plinth can be a good thing with proper footers, IMHO.

    • I entirely agree but only Lloyd Walker with his thick butcher block has gotten anything out of maple. nt - Norm 17:55:29 01/19/06 (0)

  If you have a butchers' block on cones, that couples to the shelf below not isolates from it.
