Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable

@bba - I'm cheap and lazy.  Went to Amazon and picked up a maple (mable?) butcher block end grain board about the same size as my table.  I have a few different materials to try under the board including a couple of different types / shapes / thicknesses of sorbothane, a lifetime supply of different Vibrapod products (pucks and cones), cones, felt pads, mouse pads, bags of lead shot....  Long list of stuff.

I just wanted some suggestions on what others are using successfully to help shorten the experimenting.

@glupson - LMAO is an abbreviation for Loose Molecular Attraction Oscillator.  It an advanced audio component that mounts next to any power outlet used for audio equipment.  It's purpose is to magnetically remove bad electrons and re-spin the remaining electrons to help remove RF and to create a more pure 60hz A/C current source.  The device uses pure natural vacuum that comes from the vacuum mines in northern Iowa.  A recent shortage of this particularly desirable vacuum was the result of a series of mine implosions.  Most of the remaining vacuum is being stored in liquid form in 7 tanker cars on a railroad siding outside Bozeman, Montana.

LMAO also stands for Laughing My Ass Off.

Question is, what if you whole table or rack are made of maple wood, do you stil need the maple wood block for the TT?

Yes a hardwood platform is still a good place for any turntable 

good listening

Thanks for that inspiring explanation. You do have a talent. I am heading to Iowa to check out what is happening at the source.
