Nope.
You probably won't find any consensus on which wood sounds best. I generally prefer the more dense woods, but there are those who prefer the attributes of a less dense wood (like that of the stabilized maple.)

Zach has mentioned that the stabilized versions mimic the sound of harder wood types, meaning harder slam and less decay. In my experience, although this is true, the differences are quite small, to the point where Zach has also said to pick a headphone that is most appealing to your eyes.

Emma Kirkby singing live at the Ambassador Auditorium in Passadena while sitting 6th row center sounds even better!

Break in update:
Seriously, don't even bother to listen to these until they have 200 hours of break in, that is when the magic starts.
I was Just listening to Lovely Rita by the Beatles and damn if I have ever heard the cork pop like that at the 1:27 mark, I cant wait for my Yaggy OG to arrive it is only going to get better!

The magic really does begin after 200 hours. But run it with pink noise, white noise , random noise and frequency sweeps if you want to fully burn it. I explained previously the easiest way to do this is Tara Labs Cascade burn in available on there website. Music alone is note enough to completely burn them in. Check out the Tara Labs site for more info. It is amazing what it does for a freebie application.
I have a stabilized set, and had the Olive LTD before. I couldn't tell any difference.
Gosh, I'm enjoying my VC, but it isn't a super dense wood nor burned in 200 hours. What am I doing wrong?!
Ok I checked it out, gonna do a session with it now thanks for the tip.
I am at about the same hour mark and they sound very good but there is still a little graininess, instrument separation and black level could be noticeably better. For me I am wondering at this point if it is more related to the basic DAC in my Jotunheim 2, I will know when my new to me Yaggy OG arrives Friday!
I am also trying out the burn in recommended by jgwtriode so am hoping for some improvement after it is finished.

Yes, makes me wonder if it is more related to your upstream chain. I no longer have any solid state amplifiers, so I can't compare, but maybe try some tubes
