Finite Elemente Master Reference stand-5 shelves

Hi musiclovers!
Has anyone experience of granite platform between turntable and Master Reference shelf.
I use one under my TW Acustic Raven One with Finite Cera Puchs as feet. Between platform and shelf I use rubber discs from the pucks.
I found sound improving
Or are the stand optimally designed without anything between.
Appreciate other views.

Many thanks and happy listening!

I use the Cerepucs under my SME 20/2a and my Finite Pagode Master Reference. Should be a pic posted under my system.

I do like the Cerapucs under the SME. I have not tried granite...

Nice system. I´ve heard (rumours) that hard slate is even better than granite in absorbing energy.
Having a heavy platform in either granite or slate on a stand will make it less sensitive towards footsteps and vibration in general. Differences in absorbing, and rejecting, various frequency spektra varies with type of stone/composition.
I have TW Acustic Raven One turntable with SME V and AirTight PC-1 cartridge. A non-suspended turntable whereas
SME20A is suspended. I´m not shure wether it will make more or less difference with a heavy platform underneath a suspended turntable. Only way to find is to try, granite is no that expensive, make shure surfaces are flat especially using Cera Puchs.

Regards and enjoy music!
