Audio porn (like regular porn) is not necessarily a basis for a productive, long term relationship.
When thinking about a turntable design, you need to consider the physical energy paths, in much the same way you consider the current paths in an amplifier design.
There could well be a case for introducing wood into the equation ... or not.
If you have only one crack at this, the safe bet would be to match the material of either the turntable or the arm.
It may not be the prettiest solution, but it's the safest bet.
Now, if you have the time and resources to explore 8 or 10 combinations, then by all means, explore to your heart's content. It's how we all learn.
Cheers,
Thom
