Does anyone use wood for vibration control?

Would I kid you?

What a mess!

I have about 200 albums out only and nearly all CDs have been ripped and now in boxes in the attic so ahead of the game on that score.

Anyone who calls listening to music a "hobby" is engaging in a quite different endeavor than am I. Focusing on soundstaging is like watching a film for 3-D effects.

Getting back to Mpingo wood for just a second. I would have thought Tuners would be all over this thing like ducks on a June bug, jumping up and down at the mention of Mpingo wood or Mpingo discs. The Mpingo disc, African Rosewood + Gabon Ebony, and highly resonant, is a Tuner’s Delight. First it takes some considerable effort to find a place in the room where you get a Big Bang. Many of the suggested locations often don’t work or are overly subtle. This just seems like a Tuner’s dream. Once you get the hang of it there’ll be no stopping you. There are many locations in the room where a Mpingo disc will improve the sound. And what a sound!

But the best part for Tuners is when you do find a location that works you can tune the disc since it’s directional. Hel-loo! If you have it upside down it won’t work and if you don’t have the azimuthal (rotational) direction tuned in it’s effects won’t be as pronounced.

You can also play games with the soundstage with one or two Gabon ebony 12x1x1 stakes, or even rosewood, the kind they sell at hardwood stores. Just lean one or two ebony stakes up against the wall in various locations. A Tuner’s delight! 🤗

"I would have no desire to be on an audio forum if I didn’t even have an in-room stereo to talk about and use daily to explore with."

That is understandable. People pick and choose how to divide their time and interests. Some like reading.

At the same time, many people, if not most of those, who watch basketball do not have basketball courts at home. Some can barely run a few steps, some play only on weekends, and some actually do have a court and practice often. They all comment on some really good game that happened in the city they have never been to.

Nothing wrong with theoretical discussion. It keeps "I did it" bragging at bay with a little bit colder and much less subjective approach.

Question is would having Mpingo wood floor on the basketball court influence the game and why.
