Nice turntable there deadhead... Must sound nice while you listen to the Grateful Dead....
Okay, to complicate things, I found a reference to Picawood, which according to this website, is even better than Panzerholz because it uses many thinner layers of wood veneer. This product seems closer to the Ritchlite. Very confusing......

Looks interesting ......... but it also looks like they will price it by the gram ! ........iykwim?
Jim Rose,
My 401 sits on a multiply plinth I built and I like the results, but I’m seriously envious of your recessed version.

Hi all, I’ve been reading this thread with great interest. I’m in the process of making a LTA along the format of the Clear Audio gantry type with a niffy inspired carriage. This will mounted on a custom plinth and used with my 401. I was wondering if there has been any damping testing done on phenolic paper laminate such as Paxolin? This is readily available in the UK and considerably less expensive than densified wood.

Jamie, I have found the results of damping of Richlite sample you sent me (but I haven't come across the sample yet). Damping factor is 0.26 at 328 Hz. So not bad at all. About the same as chipboard (particle board). Sorry for the delay, but we got there in the end!
The first image is my own modified Lenco with a Permawood® plinth and Permali® ring on the original Lenco platter. The second platter atop the Lenco one is Permali® + copper. The total platter weight is nearly ten kilos. The components are CNC and laser cut.
The next two pics are of a Permali® plinth built by someone in the UK with the boards that I sent from India.

That top layer of the platter looks like it could have some interesting vibration modes - surely a solid thick disc is better?
And no dust cover? Surely not? A playing disc can pull dust out of the air due to static build-up.
