These maple blocks rule!

however i just ordered a few more, and the price went up 2.5x...they are now $5 each. in fact, all of MS pricing went way up. kinda cool that all my brass weights & footers are worth more now though - like investing in a copper mine! be sure to add a little brass weight on top of the cable box when experimenting. i have 2 on top: one in the middle & one right over the cable inlet, probably overkill.

so far the wood blocks have transformed - not just improved - my computer monitors (m-audio D-4), cable tv box, XBOX, channel islands VAC-1 psu and a '72 Marantz 1122dc integrated that i've been using while a new preamp is en route. I use their pointed brass footers under my turntable & amp...indispensible really.

i'm gonna need help lifting up the tv to get blocks to fit under it! ha!

check out www.timbernation.com for really high quality maple platforms. about the same price as mapleshade, but with deeper bass. ie, the dynamics in a 2" thick TN platform are in the same league as 4" MS platforms. Now they are 2 difft beasts, but when $ is a factor i'll take 2" TN boards all day long.

i tried both head to head, quite an eye opening experience.
