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,

Is there any advantage to use the SME 312S without the finger lift as seen on your set-up pictures?

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering which Stillpoint's spikes should I use for my Technics SP-10 panzerholz plinth. I'm looking for something that will allow me to adjust the height a little bit.

Thanks,

Sébastien
