Apologies for two new posts. However I recently gave my old Brik stands (solid bar Linn ones spiked top and bottom) to my financially challenged mate. I suggested he make a table to put his Ariston turntable on (the one Linn copied) Loosely based on a Mana Reference he bought a piece of faced MDF and a bit of 10 mil glass then set it up using Mana instructions. The glass he ordered came today. I've just had him on the phone raving about the improvement over his old Target shelf. Oddest of all he claims that that he first tried it with his amp and thought that a big improvement!
