Aluminum in cld plinth

Mrjstark
I am planning layers of 3/4" birch plywood and mdf, and am wondering if sandwiching some aluminum would be of any benefit, as I have the 1/8th sheet for free.

I dont have the cnc machines to cut this but I an sure I have the connections. I would want to know it is worth it, if I were to call those favors. I can cut the thin sheet myself with stuff I own.
As always thanks for your ideas and knowledge!

I am planning 6 layers of alternate ply and mdf. i was also going to make a 2 or 3 layer platform and use 3 spikes on the bottom of the tt, and platform.

"I would only recommend that you use top & bottom layers out of Ply. or MDF + separate arm board(s)."
Mariusz, can you elaborate here,i am a little slow to get the picture.

thanks

Ok now I understand. I was not even thinking in terms of the al as the top or bottom layer, only as a sandwiched layer, or layers.
As for the top layer or armboard is one better than the other ie.. ply, mdf,or hardwood?

I guess I should say the project is a Rek-O-kut b12

Cheers

Mariusz,

Thanks,
I looked @ your pictures, very nice.
I share you love of wood, although I do not have a lot of time with really nice hardwood projects. I am seeking a look and style that is some what retro yet elegent. Even down to the look of the tonearm, maybe at the expense to the ultamate sound (if only slightly). I am open to input there also, experiances with tonearm lenght vs function and sound.

Happy listening
