Granite Slabs

@sqitis  For testing, you could use a 24" paving slab for little money. Paint it black. Stick it in the yard if it doesn't work out. 

I figured I try a remnant of granite first and see what happens if anything.

@noromance That's a great idea actually! TY

@ghdprentice   Thanks.  The Townshend podiums look great, but a bit spendy for me ($4000).  I am hoping I can get 75% of the way there for 25% of the price with the IsoAcoustic GAIA feet.  They are returnable but a good bit of work to put them on.  

Great information here - thanks to those with experience for weighing in!!

anyone have thoughts on speakers on 2nd floor on hardwood floors?  I have Vandy 5s and they are just on small spikes.  Any views on which route I should take platform or ISO wise?

happy thanksgiving to all

Ebay or FB Market Place will help source Granite using a local search. 

Monumental Masons use thicker slabs than Kitchen C'tops, the M' Mason will have off cuts that can be tidied up.

 I have wrote on this forum teirs under a Speaker bring the most attractive results.

Three Tiers of Separators and Two Platform Tiers is a excellent starting place and able to be achieved in the low hundreds if purchases are prudent.

Granite at 50mm - 75mn thickness is fine as one of the platform tiers. Granite near 20mm thickness does not deliver as the thicker slab does.
