Need some wood!

[white noise]

I've been reading that glass is not the best thing to put a TT on,at the moment mine is on a 6mm toughened glass shelf. So i need a bit of wood about 355 x 465 that will fit on my old target hifi rack . I know that the wall is the best place to mount a TT but that's not possible at the moment. Does anybody know the cheapest way to go about this ? I have been looking at big thick chopping boards that i can cut to size,as of yet i have not found one big enough.

Any other suggestions appreciated. Thanks:^

Just keep using the glass shelf, enjoy the music, forget the foo

B&Q will cut MDF to size. If you like what you hear then you can commission me to make you a shelf out of any wood you like, even though different species will change the sound!!

Are there different species of MDF? :dunno:

There are different densities

There are different densities

Different density does not equal different species

There are different "densities" of Wammer, but they are still Wammers ;-)

 

[johnniebaby]

The density of MDF is medium, that's why it's called medium density fibre board

Why not try putting wood block under the TT feet and see how it sounds , may work may not but worth a try ?

Is Nostrdamus there? :dunno:

So i can take it that wood will make no or little difference then?

Two main subspecies which boils down to Runts & Cu**z although whiny, tin foil hat, stubborn/bloody minded, feckwit, tosser are pretty much interchangeable between each category.

This has been remarkably restrained, I am waiting for the "I always wake up with wood" comment :roll:

Hi Martin,

Best to try it out and see what you think, i have some off cuts of oak veneered MDF at 26mm but am busy until Mon/Tue next week but will gladly cut you a 355 x 465 shelf, i don't want anything for it but you will have to pay for postage, i will put a coat of oil on it and veneer the edges. Just pm me.

VB Si.
