Description

This is a project that's been on going since the days of my Lenco experiments. My Lenco project is posted as a virtual system here at Audiogon too.

My Technics SP10 MK2 in custom African Wenge plinth is posted in my main system and this Technics SP10 MK3 in Panzerholz and Ebony Plinth was completed November 20th, 2008.

More images to follow, including the Ebony custom platform it will rest on. The platform is 9 layer construction including a layer of Texas Instruments shield with active ground plane.

Albert,

You had discussed above concerning the cost involved in replacing diodes,rectifiers,capacitors etc. to the tune of about 1k!
By watching the maturity level unfold between your mk2 and now mk3 tables i have become a large admirer of your finished product et al.

Do you actually build these tables for customers? if so could you offer a breakdown of where the monies are spent and the time needeed to complete such a job to the exacting standards of yours? I am most willing to pay as i have sold my top of the line Kuzma 4 point/Airline just from the completion of my Garrard 301 project with Reed silver wired tonearm and Ortofon a90 cart which may have you rethinking the pc-1 Supreme that left with it!...:)

If the truth be known...i would like your technical and engineering expertise to creat one of these masterpieces for myself...cost no object if it proves to serve the music.

As always, thank you for your kindness,

jake

Evening Albert,

I would be most interested in who might be able to build me an exact copy of your custom outboard power supply as i am starting my own project of a Technics Mk 3?
Any help would be most appreciated!

Hope your New Years is off on the right foot...:)
