Given how expensive some turtable racks are, and how effective a thick slab or maple or butcher block is at platforming and isolating, has anyone tried an all-out butcher's cutting table like the ones shown here? If you scroll down a bit you can find a 34" high table with 18"x24" end-grain top that is 10" thick! If you surf around this website you can find many very substantial tables with very thick end-grain hardwood tops in the $500-800 range, some with stainless steel structures, some with wood, some with drawers or lower shelves which could hold records or accessories.

And you might also be able to pick one up in an estate sale or on Craigslist for a lot less.

It would probably be very easy to set one of these up with Mapleshade threaded spikes for leveling and vibration control--provided you have a buddy or two to help you hoist it back into place.
