In Reply to: RE: Walnut Platform with Carbon Fiber Discs posted by Duster on January 18, 2017 at 13:05:59
@Duster...hello. Exactly the materials that I intend to use in my next platform project. I see that walnut is your choice of tone wood. Would that be black walnut? What do you think of teak? I am able to get a few pieces of teak. Depending of what kind of teak...it's about the same hardness as black walnut...ie...approx l000 lbf. What do you think? My goal...still...would be warmer and more organic SQ. Presently using IKEA bamboo which I have found to be dryer and more detailed than MDF. Not in the right direction for me. Thanks again.

I find bamboo to indeed impart a leaner and "dryer" sonic signature than the warmer sounding tonewoods, so it's not a one size fits all material. However, the choice of vibration control footers can make a big difference when used with a bamboo platform. My choice of walnut is a new one for me, so I can't comment on it yet, but from what I gather it will be a warmer sounding option for use under a DAC, and hopefully less restrained sounding in terms of dynamics than maple, with perhaps a firmer tonality, with more body than acacia wood which may have a lighter touch than walnut. I'll ask the seller what type of walnut is involved, since that factor does matter.
