Plinth building is more about resonance control and transmission than pretty wood working. Are you de-coupling the tonearm from the spindle bearing, do the feet transmit the resonances you want to get rid of, is the top plate over-dampened or under dampened, how much mass is enough and is the plinth rigid enough with just gluing - does glue type matter? Heck, if you use screws, should they be brass, alloy, or steel - or does it matter?I have done a lot of reading and research about this stuff but ultimately you just have to try different approaches that seem to make sense. As you can see from the approaches by the very best manufacturers there is still enough variety to drive you mad - if you are seeking an optimal solution. Generally, for an unsuspended table, high mass is good, over-dampening is bad, resonance transmission and control is the game. Brass is usually good, steel is sometimes bad unless its between corian or mdf.
J.D. knows this stuff better than I. I just couldn't resist commenting as I am in the middle of a monumental Lenco project.
