Problem with maple under headphone amp

What is your experiance with myrtlewood. How does it sound compared to your other experiances and my maple com???ments

I went to a local cabinet shop, they had 3'x9' plank about 4 inches thick. $100. God, what a beautiful piece of wood. It makes walnut look like plywood. I had the guy cut large slabs/blocks to put under my units. Another $25. I now have the most beautiful cutting board in my kitchen as an unexpected bonus.

I did this for aesthetics, not sound. My 53 year old ears don't notice any real sound difference, maybe it's my gear and my old ears. But it looks great, and I know that if there is a difference, I've done it top of the line. Looking at it makes my listening experience more enjoyable.

Got a piece of Cocoabolo as a facia for my sand box. A beautiful 2"x3" piece with a blond streak across the bottom. Polished up with bees'wax. It made the rest of my custom made thick maple racks look like bull dookie and now the stands refuse to sound as good as they did before.

Maple always does that

I'm a guitar player as well as an audiophile and music lover. Be careful of spruce.........guitar makers use it on guitar bodies (tops) because of its resonant properties.
