In Reply to: 301 Sounds Good, Inspite of or Because of Plinth? posted by Rob Brown on April 17, 2007 at 09:53:58:
...when you pay good money, you expect good work. When you don't get it, it leaves a really bad taste. This is especially true when you then have to spend more to have it done right. I've been called on twice now in simialr situations to that of the OP to redo what should have been acceptable the first go round.I will agree, of course, that a plinth absolutely does NOT have to look great to sound great. Now, if you've built the table yourself and it doesn't look like "fine furniture" on the outside, at least you know FOR SURE whether what's on the inside is also compromised, or not. When you have someone else do the work and when the outside fit and finish is obviously suspect and otherwise unacceptable, it makes you wonder about what lurks beneath. Where solid pieces used in the layers, or were they pieced together with gaps left resulting in resonant voids? What about the gluing process? What other short cuts or slip-shod methods may have been used. Etc., etc. Ya never know.
