Lew, beautiful job. You encourage me to check out stone dealers here in So. Cal. but I don't expect much of a selection in slate. It occurred to me that some of the potential sonic benefits of slate might be gained by using a 1" thick slate base under the plinth. That would be much easier and cheaper than cutting/shaping the slate for the full plinth build.
Also I do think you've identified a critical point regarding the mechanical integrity of arm mounting. I note my EPA-100 arm has two rubber washers to place above and below the arm mounting surface. I will replace those with brass or stainless washers whenever I finally finish my SP-10 plinth.
Happy listening!
