Granite used solely as a Sub Plinth will impact on the perception of the End Sound, but as has been mentioned not to all who have used it liking.
My experiences of using Granite, is that I have come to prefer it over other Stone as a Sub Plinth, it has been compared to Marble and Concrete.
Where it works best, is when used in a Sub Support configuration as a Tier in a assembly. I usually find Three Tiers with a selection of separator types works very well, and can be produced quite cheap, where the structure offers good impressions, which in my environment can impress similar to much more expensive sub support and footers.
If you really want to get the Best from a Single Tier Sub Plinth the material known widely as a Resin Impregnated Densified Wood, will be worthwhile investigating, as a material it is about the best there is.
