I will not use MDF.

Only because this is a project I want to fully enjoy - and I enjoy wood.

When I listen to music, my main goal is to have fun doing it, but as I listen, I *see* my equipment and just for this once, I want it to look good (ain't I fancy?). I would not let this way of thinking dictate my equipment choice, but I figure it is not to bad in the case of a low cost week-end project!

I have been reading through the Asylum for most of the day now and here is where I am at in my reflection :

I want to go with a 1/4 inch Balsa plate covered (top and sides -- so the balsa would not be seen) by a inch or 1 1/2 inch thick wood (which?) slab. All that resting on Vibrapods or Isonodes (as a cheap yet working solution).

The first wo stages would then damp as the wood slab would isolate.

Doubled with a casing damping (sand bag? bluetack?) for the CDP, it should do it.
