RE: Slate TT Project

Very nice. I should post a photo of my DP80 in a 2-inch thick all-slate plinth that I made (or "had made" by a water-jet cutter once I supplied the slab). My subsequent experiments in building a plinth for my SP10 Mk3 have convinced me that adding the hardwood base to the slate top plate, such as you have done, is a good move. The two disparate materials work well together, IME. (For my Mk3, I have a 2.5-inch thick slate slab mounted over a 3-inch thick base or platform made of solid cherry and Baltic Birch. The wood base is firmly bolted to the slate slab. Then I used long metric screws to bolt the Mk3 chassis to the conjoined slate/wood "plinth".)

I have a pdf file for cutting a "Denon hole" into slate or whatever, using a computer-automated water-jet, if anyone is interested.
