What is the perferred material for a TT shelf?


I'm designing a shelf for my turntable. Any recommendations as to what material to use.

I purchased a Jean Nantais Lenco Reference Mk III a year ago.  It's a suspension-less design.  Jean recommended a 1/2" slap of marble laminated to a 3/8" think slab of acrylic that is the top layer.  I put Herbie footers under this platform to isolate between my heavy Merrill Stable Table stand.  Works great to my ears. I used maple remnants (beautiful ivory color, all polished and finished off) purchased from a local floor and tile shop - $200, and the acrylic from my local picture framing store - $150.  Cost effective, relatively speaking.
