I think there are a lot of variables to doing maple correctly...unfortuneatly for many, only Mapleshade has really hit a home run with this type of tweaking.

Their 4" finished platform is bad-ass, plain & simple. I have 2" timbernation maple & 3" timbernation tiger maple...both are pretty dreary sounding next to the real expensive board. I have no clue how to even validate this statement though, just based on my experience with my gear. this is one of those areas where your wallet and ear have to weigh the pro's & con's.

If $ is an issue, look into getting cheaper flat grain maple butcher block platforms.

If you don't plan to couple the gear to the board, the quality of the board may matter less....just my opinion.

If you can get away with leaving the cdp on a shelf, just put some thick, rigid paper in between the chassis and your shelf. For my phono preamp & psu, LP covers sound/do the same as an expensive board.
