That second one is fantastic and, as you say, ideal for a turntable - bit of a relative bargain too.


100% Analogue

yeah that would look lovely in the living room, just before it falls through the floor lol

IF ? one is willing to forgo lapping plate surface accuracy ;) for their audio gear tables.
Then either off cuts ( Sink holes) from a granite Kitchen counter supplier
Or if after thicker than 19 mm pieces.
A tombstone maker can supply 'stone' slabs in up to monstrous thicknesses for v reasonable costs.
Locally as well, so the shippings won't outcost the item

I never quite understood why people don't use a humble 600 x. 600 x 50 sawn paving slab and adapt from there. For bench tops 900 x 450 is also available quite readily. Flat, cheap, available in a variety of stone types to suit aesthetics and (anti-) resonant requirements.

These are beautiful, somehow even more so when a bit worn.

At the budget end of things I use concrete paving slabs painted to match my kit. Clearly not as attractive as granite nor as dense, but cheap as chips.

Not very thick, but cheap.
