    Like the heavy mass and vibration controls yo are putting in place. Vibration is always something unwanted unless its at the tip of a stylus! I have found benefits always reducing vibration and using mass to remove it around the TT.

    Good work Andy and will be interested in your listening results.

    it’s what I had kicking around the garage. Panzerholz is very very expensive to buy as a whole sheet

    thanks! Too much damping can and is a bad thing. I’ve learned that lesson before with my 1210. I thinking I’m in a sweet spot now. Panzerholz/ permali would probably be better and garner better results. Maybe this is my next project.

    yup, very expensive stuff. used to be close to a grand a sheet. so heavy it costs a lot to transport too. then the working of it too. its a bit overkill for me, but i know some like it

    Your probably right Grant, it would be an expensive mistake to make if I tried it for a TT shelf and it didn't work out?

    always feel its over damping. its just birch and resin really hence the difficulty in cutting

    I use some compact laminate stuff in various parts of my system (under speakers, TT shelf etc) which is a fair bit cheaper and probably manufactured in a similar fashion.

    its engineered wood, not a wood. lots of resin in it makes it heavy and deadening; may be too dead for my liking and can kill the sound a bit.
