SP10 Mk II vs Mk III

A couple of guys here were planning to do listening comparisons of the Technics SP10 Mk II vs the Mk III, in their own homes and systems. Has anyone actually completed such a comparison? I am wondering whether the "upgrade" to the Mk III is actually worth it in terms of audible differences between the two tables. Possibly mounting either table in a well done wooden or slate plinth mitigates any sonic differences that would otherwise be heard. I am thinking of Albert Porter and Mike Lavigne in particular, who were going to do the comparison. Thanks for any response.

I don't see any photo of your SP10?? Can you post one?

Do you actually have a plinth or how do you site the tonearm??

I may chime in here and agree with the bass dynamics and jump factor of good DD tables.

I just recently bought a 30 year old Exclusive P10. Coupled with a Koetsu Rosewood it has better bass dynamics and drive than my TW Raven AC-3/Phantom/ dyna XV-1.

very impressive indeed.
