I'm really surprised you feel like that as you have already changed every component other than the plinth and the motor. If I was looking to mod the Technics the first thing I would do is rebuild the plinth! Personally, I wouldn't make it from concrete, or veneer it, but many roads lead to paradise.

I'm also surprised you say you like the sonic signature of the standard plinth - how do you know without trying any alternatives to it? Perhaps you would feel differently if one of your preferred manufactures of Techie mods produced one...
