Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable
I use Royal Purple Synthetic lubricant for lubrication of the bearings. https://www.royalpurple.com/product/synfilm-recip-100-reciprocating-air-compressor-oil/ Good Listening Peter |
I have one from KAB recommended for Technics, he's got another one at the moment on his site for $5.95 (scroll down for
SFWO 010 oil). "This is the official original SFWO 010 oil. Anderol 465 aircraft quality synthetic acknowledged by Panasonic to be the original factory reccomended oil for all Technics turntables. It is great for all steel/brass/bronze bearing spindles as well. Now being supplied in a long narrow stem pipette to easily reach into tight spots." |
I'm absolutely loving this thread especially given that I am eventually gonna get round to finishing off two plinth projects for a: Sony TTS 8000 JVC QL10 (TT101) I have effectively two designs in mind. I have thus far made two 'aerolam' style planks using aluminium plate sandwiching aluminium honeycomb I unfortunately messed up a aluminium Panzerholz sandwich (I do have another plank) My intention was to make a plinth using: Top plate aerolam sandwich Subchassis aluminium Panzerholz chassis corian side cheeks (bright orange to look like the PSx9) lexan supports from top plate to sub-chassis My other thought was to try and either emulate A. Townshend Rock reference - Bitumen, plaster of Paris (and anything else you know goes into it) or B. Sony TB2000 style - don't know if I can make a bulk mould compound. I am getting the TT101 serviced but thankfully have a QL10 base - I'm wondering if that plinth is actually any good. Love to hear your views. |
I am getting the TT101 serviced but thankfully have a QL10 base - I'm wondering if that plinth is actually any good. @lohanimal Interesting, who's responsible for servicing ? I have two TT101 Searched for TT101 plinth ideas i've come across interesting project of our audiogon fella, this is how it looks like in his blog: 1) TT-101 with one tonearm 2) TT-101 in ring plinth with two tonearms, here is a different view 3) TT-101 in ring plinth on isolation platform with two tonearm pods. I think the ring is slate ? Recently discovered two granith cylinders at home that can be used for toneam pods. And my pneumatic AT616 feet to support up to 60kg already here. |
@chakster Hi Chakster I have that page saved as a favourite - I am not who the owner of that web sight is but he is a man of both great wealth and taste :) I used Wilkinsons I the UK - boy are they slooooooooowwwwww. That said I am awaiting delivery. going a bit off topic - I am intrigued whether the new SP10 is better than the original mark 3 There's something so addictive about these DD's. The chap who created the Direct Drive Museum and others on this forum say that all the DD's of the 70's era sound quite similar and are all effectively cut from the same sound cloth. All said the chap on the Vintageknob rates the JVC highest. Anyway I digress Have you settled on a design, or are you buying a plinth? |
