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

Did you notice any audible difference made by the addition of the acrylic?

The escutcheon and the outer/bottom body of the MK3 are also Al, but obviously thinner.
The ultimate would be to remove the motor from the escutcheon/body and mount naked, which a couple different aftermarket plinth manufacturers have done, as that would illuminate all the distortions that they pick-up and add.
This can be done easily with the MK3 as the electronics are all in the isolated controller and the speed and start/stop buttons on the escutcheon can be eliminated.

@rich121 Yes, if you moved the motor and electronics into a plinth which includes the base of the arm, and the whole thing was both rigid and acoustically dead, it would be fabulous.

No, but I'm 77, who knows what screeching was happening?

Steve Dobbins’ plinth.
