Maple is normally superior with most components, And or speakers in my experience, and yes I have purchased fancy full sized blocks of both these materials, is this really necessary to explain why maple over a ringing rock is normally a safer bet? Then again I don't see too many guitars or other instruments made out of granite, but maple makes some of the best ones, so I guess you will just have to experiment :0)
Maple or Granite
I have a Voyd TT and have now tried both maple and granite under the TT. With granite I get a very lively sound the keeps you up on your toes. At times it can be to much so I orderd a Mapleshade 4" platform and tried it under the TT. With instruments such as a sax or trumpet the sound is almost addictive as there is so much air and realism about it. The sound of a panio playing in the background of said instruments is all but lost on the maple. Cymbels are not as clear also.
I am going to try a HRS M3 that is granite and wood together. Maybe I can find the best of both worlds in the HRS.
Anyone else have the same experence as I had with both platforms?
How does maple sound under a tube amp?
