A lot of folks swear by maple!Go to the Mapleshade website,they believe maple is the best way to go,,www.mapleshaderecords.com,,seems to me the harder the wood the tighter the sound,,thats just my opinion .
Best wood for making an isolation platform?
I'm considering making my own sand isolation plaform for my cd player, something similar to a Bright Star sand platform. What is the best type of wood for this application (maple etc), should it perform well if made properly, and are there issues I should address when making this platform? Thanks.
