How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ?

best-groove, you overlooked that not Lew but Nandric mentioned

AT 636 footers. I own 4 of those so even their plural exist. But

this does not imply that they are available on eBay or elsewhere.

BTW I need to clean the cover of my Obsidian each week. Those

particles are everywhere and like death unavoidable. So without

the cover the dust has choice between platter or records...

Dear chakster, the Germans lost 3 wars because they combat on

4 fronts. You are busy on MM ''f'ront'', MC kind, turntables and,

it seems, also footers.  You must do well financialy ?  

There are people who claim to have talked with the Almighty.

Hearing is of course the necessary condition next to ''some

language'' ( among other conditions) for such occurrences.

The question is why most will  refuse to believe  that those

persons have heard what they claim to have heard but accept

all other kinds of hearing as a fact? Then there are contradictions

in what x and what y has heard. I, for example, enjoy my Obsidian

plinth with AT footers while others ''hear'' a complete ''sonic disaster''

from all plinths made by Technics . I ask myself sometime if any

comparison is possible without exaggeration? Not in this forum

I think.

@chakster , If I remember well ''our Aussie'' stated to consider

FR-64 S a bargain. I consider SP 10,mk2 as the best  buy ever.

The fact , while curious, that some spend $4000 for the plinth

for this TT is a kind of praise for the ''naked thing''.

Dear chakster, I begin to believe that either your dad or you belong

to the so called ''Putins friends''. Such expensive footers and than

twice. ''Lews Kenwood''  is a kind of speaking. This does not mean

his sample but this model in general.  i have just seen one on A'gon

market for $5000. But transport and import duty in Holland (33%)

are the problem. I have the perfect tonearm for the second arm

place on this Kenwood: ''the arm'' or ''better Breuer'' (aka Sumiko

800). All good sellers compare prices all over the world. So I hope

that some German who understand English  and own the Kenwood

has seen this Ad. on A'gon. I can then collect the precious in

Germany and hope to get credit for your footers thereafter (grin).

@chakster , My are AT 636. As far as I know only Raul owns

the biggest kind. I am not sure if those are your AT616.

BTW 60 kg capacity weight is ''overkill'' for the SP10,mk2 with

Obsidian plinth.

Are yours for sell? If I ever get Lew's Kenwood I will be interested.

Dear Lew, Do you remember the first objections against DD TT's?

Exactly what nearly happened to ''our'' MC 2000. Considering this

danger I would not even dream to put a copper shield on my

''Kendood''. Copper conducts ...

Dear chakster, sorry to hear about your dad. The case is that I think

that you are much younger than I (and Lew) but i have no idea how

old you are. I am also sorry that you are not a friend of Putin. Poor

me I never had a rich friend. That is my ' fate''; I come from a poor

country (grin).

Dear chakster, One may think that my (meanwhile) 5 Kiseki's

are somehow connected with my musical preferences. But

the real explanation is Lew's ''argument'' : ''the price was such

that it was impossible to resist''. The other possible explanation

is the ''age'' we are talking about. Those Kiseki's are so old

that young people (like you) who get them for free by inheritance

have no idea what they are worth. ''Inheritance'', my dear , is

the so called ''easy money'' so no price research is done before

listing. You already got two of my carts for free so the third should

be based on some other ''principle''. Say exchange. Your footers

for one of my (3) Kiseki Goldspot; the latest version of this

remarkable cartridge.
