    Default Technics SP10 MKll

    My SP10 MKll - sound is simply fabulous, vinyl replay at its best.

    The SP10, in my experience is a high precision, true hi-fidelity, vinyl spinning machine, which fully deserves its legendary status, as such Yes! I'm a happy bunny

    Looks lovely Robbie, did you make the plinth?

    Hi Andy, the isolation platform is 12mm acrylic I believe - nice stuf.

    Hi Adrian and thanks! The panzerholz plinth was made by The Don himself, Angus Phonomac, I gave him my desired plinth dimensions, he made it and put everything together.

    A lot of work has gone into doing it right, not only for the SP10 motor/platter but the EPA-250 tonearm as well. I've been round it, under it - top work from the man as always, he covered all bases and doesnt cut corners, so electronics are checked, replaced, improved etc !

    I'm tired through late night going through tunes, still going through my fave, familiar albums as we speak - will have to force myself away at some point......

    You might eek a little more performance out of the deck by swapping acrylic with Panzerholz or Permali and getting a similar platform made for the PSU. I'd be looking at what the other components on your rack could be adding into the deck and trying to further isolate them from your deck and the deck from the stand your using. You might also want to try four permali + ball-bearing footers underneath the feet of your hi-fi rack. I've used similar tactics myself and got a small but nice improvement.

    Sounding fab Andy so not gonna mess at the mo. Tapped the plinth deliberately, a few times already, not a hint of feedback or distortion

    Might consider sticking the psu on some of these, which were under my amp - very nice Panzerholz vibration dampers, but pricey, hence i've only ever had the one set.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PatheWing...677b16ed04201f
