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.
I was wondering if the upgrades ( i.e. I believe it was capacitor replacements) in your Technics Mk III power supply made any audible difference? If so could you give a percentage improvement?
I am curious about the Micro seiki mat you are using. Have you found any problems using it with respect to increased bearing noise, premature wear, stress on the motor due to increased weight? Also are you using a record clamp?
How thick is the aluminum plate you are using, and is it positioned in the center of the plinth?
What adhesive(s) are used to laminate the various layer of the plinth?
