Impulseh2, I have an early IOj and it does best in an Ikeda FR64x rather than a new Ikeda 407, OTOH my Denon 103R performs best in the Ikeda. I also great great results with the IO in an SMEV, but it is a bit fiddly to install. I might try it one day in my Triplanar VII, but not intuitive with the fixed wiring for both and having to use conectors.
Building plinths for quality DD tables?
Nearly every reference I've read on building a plinth for a Technics SP-10 series table assumes high mass is needed, similar to Garrard, Lenco, etc. rim drive tables. Yet, the SP10 does not display the same noise and vibration problems as a rim drive. So why would a similar massive plinth be needed? Did this idea originate with the two Obsidian plinth models offered by Technics?
I'm in preliminary design of a plinth for my SP-10 Mk2A and a friend who also owns an SP-10 recommends a minimal plinth - basically a platform to bolt underneath the table, along with a tower to mount the tonearm. He lives a great distance away so I cannot audition the performance of his set up. So, does anyone have experience with a minimum plinth design rather than the more typical 40-50 pound plinth? If a minimal plinth would work as well, it would be much simpler to build.
If you have experience with plinth building for SP-10, Denon, Kenwood/Trio, etc., I would appreciate your input.
Thanx, Pryso
