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?”

Hi Johnnantais,
I have my L78 apart, and to give myself some real "kick in the pants" motivation, am in the process of selling my 1987 LP-12. Of course I will construct a big,bad massive plinth from mdf/birch ply.
I would really like to use the Denon-103 MC and the Rega RB250/RB300 combo.What model of MC and arm or tweek would you suggest for a 1,000 Cdn budget? In your vast listening experience would it be sonically more beneficial to cut away that top right-hand part of the deck for a maple tonearm board or carefully cut a properly positioned hole in the deck?
As always, thank-you for starting this thread and sharing your experiences with us.
