SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth


According to the price lists they are in one category, but anyone could comment on quality/performance? At the moment i use big Teak Wood plinth (just $750) custom made in Taiwan for my SP10mk2. Looking for upgrade in the future. I use my sp10mk2 with Reed "12 tonearm now. Doest the plinth actually makes a big difference in sound? My stand is well damped with glass, metal and sarbothane in between.

1) Oswald Mill Audio graphite slate plinth (single layer) $2750, double layer looks fantastic but cost $3500

2) Steve Dobbins famous custom plinth cost $2650 including three Stillpoints feet and automotive show quality paint in black or white. Design has changed many times, still hard to find any current plinth picture online.

I know there are Albert Porter's and Artisan Fidelity quality plinth available, but i don't like the design (i mean just how it looks) for SP10.

The plinths for the SP10 series are -

SH10-B4 - for SP10mkii, el cheapo box, NOT obsidian, 5kg
SH10-B3 - for SP10mkii & SP20 obsidian /wood base, 12kg
SH10-B5 - for SP10mkiii ( round mounting hole), obsidian, 19kg
SH10-B7 - for SP10mkii & iii ,square cutout, obsidian, 17kg

They are fragile/brittle and many have cracks/chips.
