Hi Frogspit (what's your proper first name?),
Oh you'd be surprised, once it's been suitably modified ;) Have a read here:Quote:
Oh, and I'm under no illusion that the SL-12XX series are anywhere near the SP-10s in any way other then the published specs (and even there, the 10 MKIII is in a class by itself).

Good luck with your project! :)
Marco.
just joined and came across this thread. Fantastic work frogspit! Can you give us an update? How does the new plinth and PS sound? What material did you use for the laminates - MDF? Any more pics?
Hello everybody,
This my first post here. I have been kicking around the idea of doing this for several years.

Well I finally done it pretty much as I hinted in diyaudio, using tangents STEPS
psu. http://tangentsoft.net/elec/teps/
Its a shame he no longer stocks the circuit boards, but anyhow the the slightly more humble tread is very similar.http://tangentsoft.net/elec/tread/
tangent publishes ripple test values. http://tangentsoft.net/elec/psu-tests/
Here are some pics,

I still need to rewire the on off switch but its not a priority. everything works
connecting j3 and gnd, like was suggested earlier on in this thread.
Great project Blueworm. Let us know how it goes.
I also built a DIY power supply for my Technics 1200 and to be honest I'm AMAZED at just how good it sounds!! I was scepticle at first because I really don't understand how powering the motor from an outside source can have an effect on sound quality but it does and the difference is HUGE!
I mean you could spin the record by hand and you would get sound so if it's already quartz locked on speed why the big improvement?
If anyone is on the fence about building or buying a commercial external power supply do it! It's probably the biggest improvement I've done to date and now I can't imagine listening to this turntable without it.
Now this is what analogue audio should sound like;)
