Isolation platform - Gingko vs Mapleshade


Looking for some guidance here. I currently am using a Gingko Audio 14A with a Rega table. If Iupgrade to a VPI Aries it will be too large for my current Gingko platform. To get a Mapleshade 4" platform with footers will be about the same cost as a new Gingko 10 or 11. Anyone with the Mapleshade platforms care to comment on their isolation abilities? I have no isuues with how the Gingko helped my Rega. Thank you in advance.

I use the Mapleshade 4" under my REGA P3/24 and I use the Iso Blocks that came with it, under each corner of the wood block. I don't use the brass footers at all. The REGA just sits directly on the wood platform with stock feet. I found this combination to be most stable on the top shelf of my Salamander equipment rack. The noise floor was reduced substantially and the table is free of any noise associated with vibration. I really liked the brass feet under my tube pre amp instead. Mapleshade really gives you a lot for your money. I think I paid $130 + shipping. Highly recommended!
