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.

well that would explain $3000 cost for the plinth. Thanks for the info. I must admit a bit of disappointment though. For now I will stick with the birch ply plinth. How does the birch ply plinth compare with the panzerholz plinth?

unbelievable plinth!! a couple of questions. Where did you source the panzerholz from? Also have you listened to the plinth with and with out the cast iron block? I am very curious about the effects of both the panzerholz and the cast iron block. I have a garrard 301 that has been modified with a new platter and bearing. I am now on the quest for a plinth that will effectively deal with the motor vibration.

Thanks
David
