In essence .
Oh yes, I've just had a look at them, they seem nicely made. I wonder how the weight of the chassis compares to the Keel.
I would feel happier if they stated how much the Corian items weigh- preferably in direct comparison to the Linn items as you really don't want to compress the suspension any more than it is with the standard items.
Corian does not seem to be a good material for hifi constructions, its too stiff and doesn't damp. Apart from that, it looks cheap. Its acrylic filled with alumina, but doesn't seem to do anything good for hifi.
Corian (and similar materials) has a long history in hifi. The cabinets of Wilson speakers are made from a similar material, and its been used as baffles for speakers at the top end of the market for many years. It has an unusually high level of self damping for its stiffness, but is quite expensive when compared with MDF.
......and about a tenth that required.
How have you defined and calculated what is 'required'?
Any plinth (worthy of the name) must be able to cope with all these vibrations, reducing them to a level where they are not a problem.
The damping factor of a material can be significantly altered by the methods used to construct the structure (plinth) as a whole.
Do you believe that all vibration can be dealt (including seismic intrusion) with just by the material used to make the plinth from?
The damping factor of a construct can be significantly altered by the methods used to build the structure (plinth) as a whole.
* I have used a constrained layer (many confuse this with laminating) construct of aluminium and viscoelastic bonding and this has produced a structure that is both stiff and very well damped.

I thought the discussion was about materials, not construction?
