I built a tiger maple plinth for my table. I used Herbies washer between the plinth and the turntable chassis. The washers are in each corner. This combination works very well. I would recommend the washers, regardless of which type of wood you decide to use.

@lewm Similarly, the old practice of using a rubber profile between TT chassis and wood plinth is now frowned upon I assume you would include the Herbies isolating washers between chassis and plinth as well. Honestly, my plinth looks great and sounds better than I could have hoped, so I don’t understand any controversy in what I’ve done. I also dampened my Thorens underneath with a stick on rubber dampening product that I bought from Parts Express. Maybe there are variables when it comes to suspended tables versus other design types but the isolating material that I use between chassis and plinth gets the job done. @orionpcgames If you find that you need to cut and join 45 degree corners. I’d advise taking your wood to a picture framer. The can cut a perfect miter joint. |
