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.

Arm looks like a Clearaudio TT2. 

My biggest concern in plinthing these tables is the need for isolation. I have a springy floor- I cannot use my SP-10 upstairs, but it works fine downstairs, with a mass loaded "solid" base/plinth made of constrained layers of wood product. I did not do the Albert Porter thing, though have heard Albert’s set up a few times-- it is great. 

I needed to run a big Minus K bench top  to isolate my Kuzma XL upstairs from footfalls. I guess that would be a concern depending on the situs of the table.

Yes, you are correct.  I must have misunderstood and that he only built the plinth.

I should be ok with a heavy plinth as the floor is concrete and I plan using a Vibraplane 2210 isolation platform I bought years ago and it is waiting for a custom plinth.

As whart observed, the tonearm is a Clearaudio TT2, I must have misunderstood and he built the plinth only.
