Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths


I would like to hear from anyone that has purchased a panzerholz plinth from Porter Audio or a panzerholz DIY project.
Reading through all that I could find on this subject it's obvious Mr. Porter did his home work on his design.
My question to those of you whom refurbished, replinth and rearmed some of these direct drives has it advanced analog playback for you?

I am very curious about plinths. I have an SP-10 MkII. It has the Obsidian plinth. I have mounted a Basis Vector arm. I have my table mounted on an older target wall mount stand. I removed the standard mdf shelf. I purchase threaded isoblocks from Mapleshade that replace the target spikes. On top of that I have a large 3 inch maple butcher block platform.

I am thinking about other plinths although is is difficult to know if it will make an improvement. I feel pretty confident it would sound different, but that is not necessarily better. I am going to at least experiment with Stillpoints and Walker cones under the Obsidian plinth.

If all the plinth alternatives were not so expensive I would be jumping into experimenting. My prior table was a Basis 2000/Graham 2.0. Moving to the SP-10/Vector was a big step up.
I appreciate all the good comments. My current plinth is the SH-10B3. I do have some Stillpoints on the way as well as Walker Valid points and Mapleshade triple points to try under my current plinth.
I suppose my thoughts are that any of the alternate plinths to be consider (aside from nude) are custom built products. So however I might arrive at a decision on which alternate plinth to try, it amounts to a leap of faith on a non-returnable product..So the opinions of those you trust who have walked the same path are valuable to consider. Thanks
