Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths

Lewm, hi I think Albert is using a finely machined copper mat (it's heavy and rigid not flexible -think of a dinner plate size piece of copper that's machined to tight tolerences). And you're on the right path regarding my use of the term "wetness"

Hi Raul,

No I have not compared it. So as you usually say a direct comparison with zero varibles is best. So that didn't happen. However, I'll stick by my assertation that Albert had a top table vs top tier. If that makes sense.

So I fully agree with you, I love my Grand Prix Monaco and have no intention to sell it anytime soon. It's my main source and careful system matching/setup can make it sing beautifully well. It is a top tier and a good buy. Stop by soon :) and listen !

Hi Halcro, I have a Grand Prix Monaco. Lewm's comment about it being in the "top tier" is a fair comment and difficult to dispute in my opinion. Anyway, it does have at least 1 owner in it's fanclub :).

It is significantly better than my previous table (SME 20/2) especialy in it's very low noise floor and speed stability. Like (most) anything it has it's strenghs and weaknesses.

Now if you're asking a candidate for the "best" table, I have heard Albert's mark 3 several times in his plinth. It's hard to dispute this being at or near the top. It combines the attributes of my Grand Prix, but adds a wonderful weight, power and wetness to the sound with no loss in resolution (maybe even increases rez over mine).
