Albert, could you elaborate on the thinking behind and design of the implementation of your rod+iron block 'drainage' system, drawing vibrational energy from the SP-10's bearing well to the iron block? What exactly is the connection between the bearing well and the rod? It appears as if the iron plate is fixed into the plinth, in which case it would not act as a pendulum? Does a certain material have to be used for the rod? Is there a sequence of hardness (or shall we perhaps say, of combination of material density and elasticity constant?) which has to be followed from the bearing well material to rod to iron block? I am quite curious on how this is supposed to work.
Thanks
Before I forget, let me add to the chorus saying this is a beautifully designed and built plinth, and I quite like the way the bevel on the top edge references the original plinth.
