New aftermarket plinth for Technics SP 10 MK2/MK3/R from Acoustand


Very interesting aftermarket plinth newly offered by Acoustand.
Has up to 3-arm capability.
I have a mint SP10 MK3 with factory plinth that has all the JP Jones upgrades and have been looking for an aftermarket multi-arm capable plinth for years.
Pricing seems fair, considering the hobby.

Would like to know what others thoughts are on the design.

My JVC Victor TT81 is way up there.

The Russians (NewArtVinyl) made me a 3/8" thick Acrylic Spacer for my arm to get it up high enough. 3 holes thru it for the Jelco type mount, and 3 tapped holes staggered, for the arm plate.

When I changed to the JVC UA-7082 Arm, I moved the spacer to my Mission arm (also a Jelco mount) so more of the post was in the collar of the base.

 

Of course I could have painted it black, but I like being aware of it.

Are it’s feet recessed, or is it photographed without feet in place? I think it's a solid aluminum slab, thus I think feet not installed.

My friend used a Grace arm without a spacer on his SP-15 which also comes up, I think more than the SP-10

 

Rich, I had my mk3 plinth made of slate and solid cherrywood.  Nestled in the cherrywood base is a solid chunk of brass that is in contact with the bearing à la Porter. He uses iron. I was loathe to place such a large chunk of iron so close to the magnet rotor.

@rich121 If that base is different material from the chassis of the 'table, the difference in vibration between the two (for example if the base is more still) can be interpreted as a coloration. 

If the material is the same but there is a damping layer between them the same thing can happen.
