Panzerholz for Digital Audio

I'm a bit surprised to see there's no mention of panzerholz here in the Digital Audio section. Look up "panzerholz" in the Analog section and there's a lot of hits.

So, are any of you digital-loving folks using panzerholz in your digital audio setup? If so, how are you using it; where; and for what purposes?

Are you sure the spelling is correct? It's not a German porn site, is it?

"Panzer Holz" directly translated means "Armor Wood" Its a manmade laminate from Beech Wood and resins.

Good Listening

"Panzer Holz" directly translated means "Armor Wood."

For what it's worth: the English transliteration for "panzerholz" is more commonly understood as "tankwood".

I myself am using panzerholz for a set of audio stands I'm having built (in the finishing stage now). Their primary objective is to eliminate loudspeaker and component-born vibration in the best way possible.

Panzerholz is being used only for the platforms (40mm thick). The biggest platform weighs just under 100lbs. Including the sand, the boxes and all the platforms weigh in at about 1200lbs, or 550Kgs (plus components). *The idea for the stands came from stands I encountered from the audio show in Munich, built and designed by the German acoustics and loudspeaker company, Kaiser.

If you want to check this panzerholz material out, here's the most interesting and informative information I've come across: Panzerholz vs. Aluminum: High End Audio.
