Asahitoro. Don't bother with granite. Use 4 inch air dried maple from Mapleshade. I had wrote a long post but it got lost in a bad connection. Oh well.

I got my butcher block from Butcher Block Acoustics the other day. It took about 6 weeks because I had mine done at a custom size to fit my Solidsteel WS-5 wall shelf. It came with cork/rubber pads for feet, which I am using to support the block on the shelf. For the turntable I have changed out the spikes on the feet for a set of isoAcoustics Gaia III feet (normally used for speakers, and I have the Gaia II on my Dyn C2s). It looks and works great. I am going to try out some HRS Nimbus pucks instead of the provided cork/rubber feet to see if that makes a difference. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4864/45893515952_dc0f5bece2_c.jpg |
I googled Mapleshade and they use ambrosia maple which is any maple that has been infested with the ambrosia beetle. I don't know what exactly the type of maple they use and maples on the Janka scale vary quite a bit. So just guessing which maple, just look at what type of maple grows in Penn Amish country. |
