Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II

“For those who want the moon but can't afford it or those who can afford it but like to have fun and work with their hands, I'm willing to give out a recipe for a true high-end 'table which is easy to do, and fun to make as sky's the limit on design/creativity! The cost of materials, including 'table, is roughly $200 (depending, more or less), and add to that a Rega tonearm. The results are astonishing. I'll even tell/show you how to make chipboard look like marble and fool and impress all your friends. If there's interest I'll get on with this project, if not, I'll just continue making them in my basement. The next one I make will have a Corian top and have a zebra stripe pattern! Fun! Any takers?”

Also, I am curious about the bearing upgrade that Jean sells for $190, what kinds of sonic improvements could I expect from that?

Hello from France, Michael, i wait for my TJN from J Nantais but have heard nothing about the bearing upgrade.Where have you seen this as i am interested in an upgrade for bearing?

Many thanks to Jean Nantais for this quite cheap tweak,this is not subtle, better bass, better definition,and openness. My lenco begin to sound as a high end table and my pink pt too is on sale now (and before i settle the TJN)
However the quest goes on , i test the achromat mat and it's seem to work quite well (i got it today). So more later.
