Is compressed bamboo good to help reduce vibs

Hi guys,

Is anyone using or has anyone tried blocks made of bamboo material (versus maple blocks) under speakers or other audio equipment to help reduce vibrations? A local store sell blocks made of bamboo material (compressed bamboo or laminated bamboo) and I was considering using this under my speakers and other audio equipment to help reduce vibrations. I have hardwood floors. The blocks are 2 inch thick and weight a ton (the compressed material is heavier than the laminated material). The blocks also look very good. A block 19" X 19" X 2" only costs $30.

Thanks.

Don't be so silly.
Only Symposium, Silent Running Audio, and other products costing thousands work for reducing vibration in home audio gear.
Next you'll be asking about cheap wire........

I think the answer is going to be---"For $30 try one." Add spikes and you have an amplifier stand.

What store sells them?

Devore's new monitor enclosures (3XL) are made from Bamboo which he selected because of reduced resonances and because bamboo is very environmentally friendly since it is easy to regrow. There must be something to it. I second the question: which store sells them? Sounds like a good deal. Let us know how they work if you try them. Thx
