How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ?

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.

Has anyone tried using the Sp10 Mk2 naked (without plinth and directly on some footers) ?  What can be expected from such an arrangement ?

Pani, it was Raul for years.
On this huge AT-616 footers, on the picture is my ex SP-10mkII, but i;ve never had tonearm pod to try.

Thanks @chakster .

@raulrigas, what are your impressions of driving the SP10 in the naked mode ? Do you advise getting a good plinth ?

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.

@jeschiotz SL1000mkII is probably too heavy for magnetic footers

Chakster; what is the total weight. Cant remember..
Anyway ,there is different versions , one of the manage 10 kg each.

  Stillpoint Utra's and V's work well in place of the stk feet.

as do these in the link.  value for money is excellent.

I'm a believer in Stillpoints in some applications, but in the case of an SP-10 Mk IIa in the obsidian plinth, three pairs of good ears had difficulty detecting any meaningful difference between stock footers and Ultra SS.  This may have been because the plinth was sited on a substantial 4" maple base. Much more improvement was heard with a 4mm copper mat on top of the stock alum platter.

Hi dgarretson.

  agree in the overall improvement factor, my micro seiki cu-180 had a bigger improvement on my SP10mk3 than the Stillpoints.   
    However, the Technics sitting on a 4" piece of maple may not be doing the stk feet or Stillpoints any favours.
