How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ?

Recently I heard an SP10 MK2 playing music at a friend's place. It was mounted on the stock Obsidian plinth. It actually sounded very good. I wonder how good is the Obsidian plinth compared to:

1. Typical after market birch ply plinths ?

2. Custom designed plinth like the Panzerholz plinths made by Albert Porter ?

Any ideas ?

@lewm

feets Audiotechnica AT 636 does not exist if I search on the internet.

Are you sure of the acronym or maybe are you confused with the AT 615?

@nandric sorry ...I did not read well

@chakster maybe i’m interested  but I do not know them (I've only AT 606 or 605)   ..... it depends on how much weight they hold and of course the cost.
send me an email in pvt that we talk about.

it becomes absurd and anti-economic to spend more on the basis than on the cost of the entire turntable, it would be like using a Denon DL 103 and combining a € 2,000 tonearm ... some crazy does it surely but serves proportion in things and also know how to settle ihmo

some golden ears claim that the obsidian plinth is too monotonous on the bass range compared to plinths in birch plywood or decidedly heavier plinths.
I do not believe it very much.

As for replacing feels on the stock plinth. Anyone tried magnetiske ones?


I do not want extraneous magnetic forces to be found near the cartridge.
More to discover
