I must disclose that I know the owner of Ginko so I am biased in his direction. If you check it out you can see that using a true and meaningful measurment a precise and sensitive accelerometer shows how well his platform dampens vibration. I have not seen data on maple of any thickness but have been told that it reflects vibration and does not absorb it. Take my statements for what they are worth. Under actual playing conditions I have never heard them compared.
