Ideas on Technics SP-15 plinth

Hi,

I live in the UK and bought a Technics SP-15 turntable minus arm, PSU and plinth from a chap in Canada. I would very much like to either buy a Technics plinth or custom-make one from acrylic and/or granite as the deck is a real cracker and in very good condition for its age. Being a bit of a hi fi geek, and single, there is nothing to stop me having it as a project and the first thing on the list is a plinth. From what I can gather, once the deck is restored and a suitable arm and cartridge fitted, its performance is right up there with the very best. If anybody has any ideas or views on this please feel free to let me know.

Hi Jardo, if you build a plinth, use the advice given above, plus make sure that the plinth is as rigid as possible and as tightly-coupled to the SP-15 as possible. Any loss of rigidity, any resonance that exists between the base of the platter and the base of the tonearm can be interpreted by the cartridge as a coloration.

Have fun!!
