I have read mixed reviews of putting underlayment down or not. I am installing 3/4" x 5" brazillian cherry and would like to hear some opinions on if I should or not. The install is on the second floor with no moisture issues. If I were to put it down I would want something that would dampen the sound from walking in shoes since it is a second floor install. Any recomendations? Thanks
