In the 1980's and 90's a lot of UK Linn dealers sold the Torlyte shelf as a platform for the table. Torlyte is an extremely low mass, honeycomb-like structure, made of balsa wood. It has fallen out of fashion, but is I believe still available from Russ Andrews. I use one between my Townshend Rock table and Townshend Seismic Pods. Old & new!
