Everything in my studio is now mounted on maple platforms on Isoblocks. Two inch maple makes a satisfying improvement under every stereo component I’ve tried. Turntables improved astonishingly! (Incidentally, the platform should be slightly larger than the component it supports.) Stepping up to a four inch thickness is a serious sonic upgrade. That’s what my Sony studio tape machine sits on in the studio—and there’s no question you hear the difference in our CDs.
In independent head-to-head listening tests, the Mapleshade Triplepoint/maple/Isoblock system invariably sounds better than $2500 Vibraplane air suspension platforms—much warmer, more detailed, and more naturally dynamic at less than 1⁄10 of the cost. Ditto for expensive composite platforms, sandboxes, and air tube/bladder suspensions from Symposium, Zoethecus, Townshend Seismic Sink, Bright Star, Nuance, Polycrystal, Silent Running. Use our 30 day money back to judge for yourself. |
