Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable

@bpoletti

I used these Hudson Hi-Fi 4x 2.5" Platinum Silicone Hemisphere Bumper Non Skid Isolation Feet w. Adhesive - that were reasonably priced for my butcher block turntable base. They are easier to use and don’t have the sticky tacky feel of sorbothane.

I also have used these Hudson Hi-Fi Silicone Isolation Feet (4 Pack, Soft Block 60lb capacity) for speaker, cd player and receiver feet. The above items and these here are by Hudson Hi-Fi and cost very little for what they do.

WRT, Mapleshade and air dried vs. kiln dried wood, I can hardly wait for someone to come out with a torified TT base. Hey if Martin guitars is doing it, why not? Same market nitche as over prices ICs.

[tfpic mode /on] The reason maple butcher block is used because there is a scarcity of The ideal material, solid blocks of argon.  It's perfect, but very hard to keep in its solid state.   [tfpic mode /off]

It seems that maple block is not the best material.  Bamboo seems to sould better to many, but maple has been around for a long time.  I think the reason is that it's better than most of the shelving material.
