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

MDF will be better than plywood. If you want to spend more you can find a Lumber Liquidators and get maple butcher block. I believe it comes in 8' and 12' lengths by 24" wide.
Can you find maple butcher blocks,maybe at T J Maxx?They come in several different sizes and are relatively cheap.
franco,
mdf will be a better choice for you but for not much more money solid spring maple would put your components in a much better situation to reveal the music...
If you have the Vibrapods so much the better!
Good luck,

hmmmm.....? I have all my gear on a low cost metal shelf rack and each shelf has a grate...like the racks in the oven. The cd player is on a few sheets of foam..the no skid stuff that comes in rolls and is used to line cabinents. How critical is it to get this gear on a more dense board? The turntable is on a hard board.
