Same as AR Guy, have had better sound on Thorens with the bottom open, but have never tried stone of any kind. However, one recommended tweak for Thorens is replacing the cheesy bottom plate with 3/4"-1" plywood. I tried this on a TD165 and did not like it (many do though). This got me to thinking that the sound of such a bottom may be dependent on what platform the table rests on. I use extremely light weight Neaunce shelving supported by upturned spikes and noticed that many are using heavy platforms/shelves made from cement, stone, heavy wood such as Maple, etc.. Just to say that there is more to consider than the TT base itself. Think Kenwood or Pioneer made a stone base TT @ one time (their top of the line) and wonder if it might turn up on a search of the forum?
