SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth
Chakster, I own Technics SL 1000,mk 2 with Obsidan plinth but removed the mediocre original feet and put AT pneumatic 636 footers instead. The plinth is actually a frame (not guitar box) like Lew's slate plints. The armbase is according to me also suitable for 12'' tonearms. I use (10'') FR-64 s and there is sufficient room on the armbase for an larger arm. Waht kind of ''Obsidian plinth'' are you referring to? |
@downunder I wish i could aford the still points for my luxman pd444, tomorrow i'm gonna get my new rack for PD444 from the warehouse. With my old SP-10mk2 i use teak wood plinth, this is how it looks. @nandric my plinth is actually a frame too, but it looks more massive than Technics obsidian plinth (more room to mount "12 tonearms). I can't remember how many variations of obsidian plinth they made, never tried them, but i have those Audio-Technica 636 pneumatic feet. Anyway, the idea is to use metal frame like this EMT , why not? |
chakster, if you are curious, Technics offered at least three plinths for their SP-10 series of motor units. The first, for their initial SP-10 was a basic box frame. With the introduction of their SP-10 Mk 2 came the SH-10B5, a 38.2 pound composite obsidian plinth. The SH-10B7 was similar but weighed nearly 42 pounds. I thought there was another option but can no longer find reference to it on the Vintage Technics site. Your teak plinth certainly looks nice, whether optimal for sonics or not. |
