Bearing Drain - Technics SP10 MKii and others


I am looking at building a plinth for a Technics SP10 MKii. I've seen this concept in Albert Porter's plinth and elsewhere.

How effective is this mod or plinth strategy? What sonic areas does it improve? Or, is it too hard to tell and not really effective?

Thanks!

I actually have an sp10 mk2 in an Albert Porter plinth right now and I think it's extremely quiet from a mechanical standpoint. I preferred this setup to several very good belt drives I heard in the past year. I've never heard the table outside this plinth so I can't comment on how much it quiets it down but I'm quite happy with it the way it is.
