Does anyone have any experience using a granite surface plate as a turntable stand? I'm considering getting a 18" x 24" x 3" granite surface plate and stand to be used for a turntable stand.
I was planning to place the surface plate stand on a carpeted concrete floor. The stand is a machinists' stand specifically designed for a granite surface plate. It has adjustable leveling feet.
I had also read that a thick maple cutting board on a granite surface plate works very well. But I can't remember where I read it or if the credibility of the commenter.
I haven't tried the ball peen hammer test. I plan to use a thick maple butcher block next to the granite. The table will rest on three Stillpoint cones pointy side up.
The table, an original VPI Aries Extended,seems to really benefit from as much isolation and as solid surface as possible. Seems like every small change is audible.
