There is no need for concurrence on a dedicated room--I guess my original post was unclear in that I am definitely moving forward with that. The question was about what recommendations people had for table/surface areas for my turntable set up, with the plan to use the Vibraplane.
Dan_ed, any specific recommendations regarding the "lots of options" for a table/surface?
Another point to make (especially to Glory's wife!)--the Apogee Scintillas never reside in the living room for more than a few hours at a time because of their ridiculous scale in our living room,. Even I agree with you! I move them out on a dolly to make the living room normal again after my listening sessions, which are too rare. Hence the dedicated room project. My everyday listening is with the JM lab speakers visible behind the Scintillas.
