| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Jonathan,i'll do my best to answer your question.Albert does not do the 'nude' SP-10 Mk3 plinth. his Mk3 plinth design keeps the case-work on the Mk3. Steve Dobbins Mk3 plinth, which i own one of, does at least remove the top case-work. however; i... | |

| can anyone recommend tube amp for dartzeel preamp? this month's Stereophile has an Audio Research integrated that they think very highly of which is priced reasonably; under $5k. OTOH it may not be quite 'tubey' enough to give you that 'change of pace' you desire.as someone who has your same gear,... | |

| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths the copper-tops are platter surfaces, not mats. Steve sells a Garrard 301 copper-top platter that lowers the noise floor 4-5 db compared to a stock platter and sounds great. i don't think he makes any copper mats that i know of.all three tt's do l... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths I can definitely see where a copper or metal mat in general could liven things up assuming the table drive can handle the weight!i like copper too. | |

| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths i think Jfrech has it about right on the GP Monaco. i had one for about a year in my room. it's a really nice tt, fit and finish about perfect, great speed, low noise and neutral sounding in a good way. i 'prefer' my Dobbins SP-10 Mk3 for it's dyn... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Raul,ok, i get it about what you were referring to.OTOH it's clear we are not referring to the same thing at all.you are mentioning about the stock SP-10 and removing the bottom-plate of the stock case-work in hopes of improving performance.i am r... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Raul,to be clear; my comment on the nude (original case-work removed) SP-10 Mk3 referred only in the context of installing the nude SP-10 Mk3 inside a custom plinth. possibly that was inferred by your comment;Nice to hear that I'm not totally wron... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths i own 2 vintage tt's with Dobbin's plinths; a Garrard idler drive 301, and an Technics SP-10 Mk3 DD. i did also have a Dobbins plinth'd SP-10 Mk2.so why do these plinths improve performance over the basic stock tt or OEM plinths?my opinion, alread... |
