Regards, all. I've been following this thread with interest and am reminded of this site:
http://www.soundfountain.com/amb/sp10plinth.html
As there are some familiar names mentioned, I'm sure several of the knowledgable posters here are aware of this site but it seems to offer good information, such as data relative to the propagation of sound through various materials taken from "The Practising Scientist's Handbook", written and compiled by Alfred J. Moses (Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, New York, 1978). Also a comparison by the host of various plinth materials and the effect on tt performance.
Please do continue this discussion as there is much insight into the considerations of plinth (or absence of) construction from all of the remarkably experienced audiophiles who have shared their thoughts on this matter.
