This replaced a Grand Prix Audio stand I had been using prior.

Right on the money, as I have been surprised at how good maple butcher block is for an audio platform. I wrote up some initial findings (Project Rega) in the vinyl section when I added a layer of foamed Pergo to a butcher block, but enough is enough, right?

Nice looking! Three versions(Samson V1,V2,V3) and many sub-versions.

Quote from site.
"SAMSON sounds better than the most exotic welded tubing, damped layer composite, or inlaid hardwood racks costing up to $6000 (e.g., RixRacks, Zoethecus, Sound Anchor, Arcici, Billy Baggs, or Walker)."

Hey, if it works for you, that's all that matters.

But replacing a Grand Prix Monaco with what is essentially a commercially produced Flexy doesn't make the slightest bit of sense to me.

What am I missing here?

Hi,

Thanks for the tip on the Mapleshade.

What was it about the Mapleshade that made you choose it over the GP?

Thanks

Andrew
