DIY turntable plinth material

I have a spare VPI super platter/spindle, thinking of building a TT out of it.

I have some materials in mind

I have a spare BDR shelf that I can use, but its difficult to work with and will only consider if it offers significant performance upgrade.

I can have acrylic or MDF cut to any shape, both are easy to work with. I once had a 400lb granite but I can't possibly imagine using it due to the size and weight.

I assume a mixture of different materials should offer the best performance, wondering what do people use to build their TT?

Try contactiung a kitchen counter fabricatioin place and see if they have any Corian sink cutouts. Corian is very dense and resonant free (any heavy), and it comes in many styles and colors.

Check out my systems page for a DIY using VPI platter, bearing and motor and a Corian plinth (Apogees in the House)

Enjoy,
