I don't want to spend $700 for a man-made marble slate!

Hi.

Are we dealing with audio or precision lab test instruments?

For audio use, I think I could save the big bucks to pick up a natural granite slab, of much denser & massy weight from a garden or stone outlet, cheaply.

Add underneath the granite slab three jellylike vibration absorbing cushion pads, available from sports shop or drug stores. I did use some jelly stuff as my shoe sole insert before.

Here you go.

But, this vibration-absorbant platform alone is still NOT good enough for me. ALL my components, which include heavy weight tube power amps, are DIY fitted with strong steep spikes at their chassis bottom plate. My LP turntable, DVD-audio player, CD player & tspe deck are all seated on tuned acoutical tip toes, pointing upward, with the tip toes bases mounted on rubber cushion pad before landing on the stone platforms.

It works & yet all these cost me so little.
