Billy Bags Cracked Glass


Can anyone share thier experience with Billy Bags Cracked glass shelves. I am thinking of upgrading the shelves on my Billy Bags rack to the cracked glass. Those that have compared or have other experience, do they add a sonic benifit or change? I am also wondering if anyone has seen the new charcoal cracked glass, pictures would be welcome. Thanks

Sonically I think any type of glass is a bad idea. Glass creates all type of problems that I’m not going to discuss while answering this question. One of the very best shelving materials one can use IMHO is ACRYLIC!
Herman, I've tried glass, granite, a number of other stone, various woods and I prefer the sound of acrylic 1/2" to 1" thick depending upon what sits on top of it. If others prefer the effects of glass I think that's wonderful.
When I said turn table bass I might have used the incorrect term, I was referring to what a turntable platter, tone arm etc is attached to. I know there is a correct name for it but it doesn't come to me at the present time.
I've seen turn table bases made out of wood and acrylic, but never out of glass.
Think about it!
The correct word I should have used was turntable plinth. I apologize for the confusion.
