The current furniture is a poor choice. I've tried something similiar (in an emergency) for my LP12, and hope I never have to do it again. However, the current furniture might work if you had an isolation platform of some sort underneath the Basik. I remember a Linn dealer doing something like this (he had one that had a board, with energy absorbing feet.)
A specialty stand is probably the best. But, you might try using a small, light weight, and rigid table (like what you'd put to the side of a couch). I believe that the Ikea Lack end table has been a classic choice for the LP 12--and it should work with a Basik.
