Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths

I would like to hear from anyone that has purchased a panzerholz plinth from Porter Audio or a panzerholz DIY project.
Reading through all that I could find on this subject it's obvious Mr. Porter did his home work on his design.
My question to those of you whom refurbished, replinth and rearmed some of these direct drives has it advanced analog playback for you?

Interesting how certain products trounce in one system and are trounced in another.

One audiophile I know (outside of USA) has quite a few turntables and an extremely good syhstem. Walker Proscenium Black Diamond II , MS SX 8000II, Kuzma XL 4, MS SX 777 FV, Exclusive P3a, Technics Sp10 mk2 and Mk3 with and without SME 312S.

His best sounding table is the Walker. A lot better than his SP10 mk3. His best sounding DD table is the Exclusive P3a.

BTW, he is an avid audiophile and has no sales motives

Hi Lew

I think you may agree that once you have reached a certain level of quality, all relative merits are subjective and linked directly to one's room interaction, individual components, set up, tastes etc etc.

I have not heard any of the tables mentioned with the exception of my P3, hence I cannot comment on the relative rankings.
The gentlemen has no hidden agenda's and does not participate on audio websites, just an audiophile who has listened in his own system. He has the best offerings from companies like walker, allnic, atmosphere,cj,karan to name some.

my post was not to critique the relative rankings as absolute, just to indicate that there is no absolutes.

Lew, this hobby is not difficult, it is fun and a great way to enjoy music

Hi Halcro

Our mutual friend Ian in Melb bought a GPM.

He has now sold his Basis Debut/Vector as it was getting no use. He has not compared it to any other DD tables.

All I can say with all this talk about plinths etc, I sure am glad I bought a table from a company that actually spent time and $$ building an integrated table, plinth and tonearm that takes away all this stress and sounds absolutley world class to boot.

I am sure lewm will chime in here. Lew, how would you describe thye sound of your LD-07? I keep thinking dymanicel, but lacking in low level harmonics and tone - but I am probably wrong. How do you find the intergrated tonearm?

cheers
