Yeah, good point, Abel (about weight not being the be-all and end-all!).However, you say "Concrete is known to "ring" when struck" ... well, I'd have to say if you made two (drum)sticks out of the kind of wood which Linn use for plinths (cherry, afromosia ...) or the Oz hardwood which my mate made his Thorens plinth from, and struck them together, they would ring too!!?? :-))
In fact I suggest that if I took one of these (drum)sticks and hit the concrete plinth with it ... the resulting "ringing" sound would be duller than if I hit the other (drum)stick with it.
So maybe concrete rings less than wood?
To me the vital question is ... does it have a better vibration sink/vibration-propagation quality than hardwood? That I do not know!! :-))

Andy
