i wonder why pay topdollar for something you can do yourself, go down to the local

washingmaschine dealer, get a grandulated rubbermat for washing mashines, it makes it stabble and noise/vibrationfree, and it will do the same for your audiocomponents,

it will cost you something like 5 for a 2 foot x 2 foot ½" sheet,if you want it to look good to, buy some nice woods and make a top and bottom with the math inbetwin, and it will do even more for your sound, for fun, throw in the 20-30 $,have fun

No its not an important part, unless the loudspeaker is vibrating it causing frequencies not present in the program. You need a soft item like felt, to isolate two hard surfaces to eliminate that. This guy has something to sell, but it is not knowledge in audio, it is snake oil as usual. Which is best? Trust your own ears. OK, but I sure as hell don't trust anything you say, Mr Salesman.

Oh shit, its Dr Brian Anal-Eardrum trying to improve the sonics in a room with a unique super special butcher block.. His 'Extra Dead' knowledge of sonics is about extra dead as that butcher block. What a loser. I get he makes a nice pair of B&w puke.

Not just ANY Maple butcher block??? Give us a break Brian fer chrissakes. So, you're a big fan of extra mass eh? The larger the surface area of your 'special' butcher block, the greater the area available for it to be energised by the SPL in the room, thereby adding colouration by introducing MORE vibration into the component. The only 'good' shelf is no shelf.

SoundMindAudio - says it all really - the sound is IN his mind. Brian, the guy here, does a great disservice to the whole Hi-Fi community by putting out this crap; "the shelves 'sound' better with rounded edges!!! Oh dear. So what sounds the best Brian - 10mm radiussed edges, 5mm, 15mm, 25mm??? What a dreamer. WVUtubadude is spot on.

I love watching this snake oil voodoo stuff. Great for a laugh.

Woah, one bridge too far, those rounded corners. I fail to see the point in that ;D.
