MDF or Plywood for best sound in Hi-Fi rack ?


I need to make to more shelves for my rack. One for my CD and one for the preamp. I use Vibrapods under each unit. Is MDF or plywood better for sound quality or vibration control? Thanks

We layer our Signature Shelves... 19 times.

Nrchy is soooo right! Now if Sota only layered in useful things like Audiav does, it would sound good :)

In answer to your question: MDF for anti-resonance, Plywood for strength. Think low mass and viscous layers as alternates for layering. Or just buy a Signature Shelf :)

There are only a few materials that will gain a better inertness than MDF, but the cost goes through the roof.

I would tell you... but that would give away a few secrets.

A Granite decoupled layering sandwich works wonders... believe me :)
