It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I've got sheets of Styrene, it's not hi tech, but a nice soft plastic made for modeling. And I've got it in a dozen thicknesses, as thin as .010", and as thick as .080". Real inexpensive. I've made a shim to raise the tone arm mount out of it, so easy to work with.

Thanks everyone for the replies, especially Jerry
I think I'm sorted now.
I am reading this with interest as I need to make a spacer for my cartridge (Ortofon AS212 tonearm that is too close to the lifting arm) and would benefit from perhaps 3mm additional depth.
I am on the verge of ordering a sheet of paxolin but wondered if anyone had experimented with balsa wood ?
Only asking as I have various sheets/sizes and was thinking of mocking a spacer up as a test to see if 3mm was about right or whether less/more thickness would be better. Suppose I could always give it a listen.
Anyone tried it ?

As I recently posted on another thread, I once heard a loudspeaker with a cabinet made of balsa wood. It sounded amazingly natural and remains (in my memory) one of the best speakers I have heard.
Maybe it would be as good as a cartridge spacer?
Certainly worth a try!
