How to properly put audio equipment on top of an antique buffet cabinet?


Dear,

My granddad recently had to move from his house to a retirement home and I acquired some paintings and an awesome antique buffet cabinet. It’s a sturdy handcrafted piece, but the top is not entirely massive wood. I use two MDF boards as a bridge to host my NAD M2 and M50. I’m curious to learn from your advice on how to improve this.

- The units were next to each other as you can see in the picture, I’m still experimenting. What would be best?
- Should I search a marble or granite stone slab to put underneath?
- Is there some small audio furniture that could be used?

Thanks upfront,
Koen

Your beautiful  17th century style 1920’s built sideboard is a big heavy slab by itself. I see anything other than simple sorbathane or rubber feet taking away too much of the visual and providing no sonic benefit. Do not use felt as it is the old finishes that over time will absorb the texture and leave a mark.
