Maple Block for Turntable

[Drrsutliff]

Size was a consideration, though many of the double width racks would have fit... No I do not play the sax. Found the lamp at a local consignment furniture store a friend of mine owns. He is always informing me when unique musical themed things show up and I thought it would be an interesting addition. Made from what was a functioning sax at some point in time and the keys all work so a lot of fun in the room.

I have been using Herbie’s grunge buster dots between a Billy Bags rack and the 3” thick maple platform for my TT. I have experimented with having them in place vs having the block directly on the rack’s top shelf. I perceive greater clarity with them present. Awaiting on my new Adona rack to arrive and will then have to do the evaluations all again...

I found that with my Adona rack, that my old VPI Scout, with the upgraded footers, sounded better without the maple block. Before I had the Adona rack, it sounded better on the maple block, on my previous rack.

Starting my new setup with my Origin Live Resolution 3 directly on the oversized Adona top platform. It has as much mass as the 3” maple platform I used previously. I will see how I like it. So far pretty pleased.
