Sourcing a locally made plinth


Recommended Posts

I am exploring the possibility of having a new turntable plinth made locally. I’m in Brisbane but would consider anywhere in Australia. 
 

It’ll be a rigid plinth with CNC and real timber veneer work if I go with wood. I’m also considering Corian engineered stone as an option due to its material consistency much like MDF or ply. 
 

I just need the plinth made as I’ll be doing the rest of the build myself. 
 

Recommendations on who to approach are appreciated.

@Steever may i suggest you try to contact @Shark

 

This is based on a remote visual appraisal only of some thread posted photos quite a while ago but the exceedingly drool worthy impression has stayed with me...was a lacquer finish plinth for a Technics SP10 ? or Garrard 401 perhaps 🤔

I have made rega style plinths in solid wood,  one I have in service presently is 36mm thick rivergum,  2x18mm finger joined sheets,  I have been planning to do similar in birch ply and bamboo.  Personally wouldn't use mdf or anything like it,  it's pretty lifeless material. Have read quite a bit on material resonance over the years,  it's quite a complex field,  BBC did some interesting research, and there is stuff floating round the Web from acoustic engineers who have worked on some audio projects. I don't profess to know all that much about it,  it's all constant learning.
