MAPLE PLATFORMS

Our Amish-crafted, solid air-dried Maple Platforms and Component Stands are an integral part of the Mapleshade Vibration Control System that has transformed the sound of thousands of audiophile systems over the last decades. 

How You Mount Your Gear Affects How It Sounds

You can transform its sound by mounting your A/V components on a really good “sink”—that is, on a base that receives and dissipates the component vibration thoroughly without reflecting it back. Our painstaking listening panel R&D tests proved that using maple as a sink material sounds warmer, clearer, punchier and more detailed than granite, slate or glass (all are edgy and bass-dulling), hi-tech damped composites (very dead sounding), and myrtle or exotic hardwoods (more colored and less detailed). 

We Use Hand-Selected Maple Air-Dried For 3 to 6 Years

Because finding air-dried 2" to 4" thick, old-growth maple at ordinary lumber yards is impossible, Pierre turned to a local Amish sawmill in 2001. They find us logs of very special maple indeed: 75 to 100 year old, slow-grown Ambrosia maple that sounds distinctly warmer and clearer than commercial, force-grown Canadian rock maple. These old trees yield wood of gorgeous character: much tighter and more variegated grain, lovely nut-colored contrasts, subtly shimmering curl, birdseye and tiger stripes—and, strikingly, our tests show that variegated maple sounds better than featureless clear maple. After our rough-cut maple air-dries for 3 to 6 years, depending on thickness, our Amish craftsmen meticulously plane, bevel, shape and sand the wood. Ben, with his sons Crist and Uri,  take particular pride in how their finishes show off the dramatic character and grain of our hand-selected, old-growth Ambrosia maple.

Finish Options to Suit Any Decor

We exclusively use air-dried Ambrosia maple as the sink for our Vibration Control Systems and offer four handsome finishes to suit a wide range of decors. Our stock Platforms and Component Stands are hand finished with Clear Satin that beautifully enhances the striking natural grain character of our air-dried maple. We also offer three made-to-order toned finishes: Natural Cherry, Deep Rosewood, and Satin Black.

GRID VIEW

Our beautifully machined brass footers are the first element in Mapleshade's unique Vibration Control System, a system that has transformed the sound of thousands of audiophile systems over the years.

Install a set of brass footers, by themselves, under speakers, audio or video disc players, receivers, DACs, streamers, amps, preamps, power supplies, tuners, turntables, power conditioners, or cable boxes—and get a major, immediate upgrade in sound and picture clarity. The design of our footers has been painstakingly refined to efficiently drain the most possible vibration out of any component down into the shelf (or floor) below, causing music to sound strikingly clearer, more natural and more exciting. For video, colors become more vibrant, images are clearly sharper and shadow detail improves.

Rigid, resonance-free and massive, our solid footers lock the component or speaker into place using point contact, an essential for draining vibration cleanly. The footer's mass, shape and, most importantly, material all make a big difference. We've tested every promising high-tech material: ceramics were too bright; titanium, carbon fiber, stainless steel, myrtle, aluminum and ebony were dull and smeared compared to brass. Our proprietary alloy brass was by far the best-sounding footer material: much more dynamic, vibrantly warm, and more detailed. Take advantage of our money back guarantee and make your own comparisons against other footers, even ones costing 10 times more.
