My Mana was as per that without the centre shelf.
One might come up on ebay - will set a search.
Looking around there seem to be very few dedicated TT only tables around. Which is why I asked.

Doesn't glass resonate a bit?

I know Systemdek used to recommend not siting their decks on glass shelves.

If it is going to be placed on a solid floor, the HiFi Racks range of wooden racks is worth looking at. Decent looks, flexible configuration, at a reasonable price; also they do the job well.

Chopping board, bolts nuts, another Chopping board and short IKEA legs filled with some polymer. Stone on top with elastomer in between. Chopping boards are my go for it solution as you can adjust resonance control - spikes, elastomer, squash balls etc.

I'm going to do a mana diy soon, the glass is just ordinary "float" glass.
From what I've read on the net tuning the glass is the key.

Hi Jamie,Originally Posted by jamie123
Trust me, it's not. You need 10mm toughened safety glass, with polished edges, otherwise it's unsafe to use as shelves for housing (potentially heavy) hi-fi equipment. Not difficult to get though, from your average glazer, but not particularly cheap either!
How was your holiday (if indeed you're back), and when shall I expect you at Marco Towers to collect your 'new babies'?
