Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths

Radicalsteve,

Where did you get the Plattentellerauflage mat you mention that's made in Germany? What is the cost?

Hi Albert,

You were referring to the 2008 RMAF show, where OMA debuted the Saskia turntable created by Win Tinnon, for which OMA made the slate plinth and other slate parts. That was an idler drive turntable, not a rim drive (a rim drive does not necessarily use an idler wheel, for example, such as in the Teres product, or in one of the TT weights decks.)

OMA no longer is partnered with Mr. Tinnon, by the way.

See you in Denver,

Jonathan

Dear Radicalsteve, 4.5 KILOGRAMS? Really? Holy patootie; that is 9.9 lbs, which is more than the platter weighs on a Mk2. How long does the table take to get up to speed, not that this alone is any measure of how the servo functions with such a huge increase in total mass? The proof is in the pudding, I guess.

Albert and Jonathan, Just out of curiosity regarding your chosen plinth material Did either of you use or have commissioned any sort of measuring test on panzerholz and soft slate?
I ask this because of the near endless material one could choose from for a mass loaded constrained layer plinth be it man made and or ftom mother nature

My research these past few weeks into the history of speciality plinths shows a long list of methods and material from manufactures and especially the DIY communities that goes back decades

I just find this whole subject of vintage record players interesting that in these modern times one can in some cases like yours Albert advance their vinyl play back using select material with a vintage tt.
On a final note Jonathan mentioned above a denon cartidge body made of panzerholz indeed interesting material.

Dear Dbcooper: +++++ " Did either of you use or have commissioned any sort of measuring test on panzerholz and soft slate?

this is the third time that you ask the same looking for the answer that can tell you/us if there are scientific/measures/numbers behind the plynth TT build material choosed.

NO answer till this moment from any of the ones involved in the build of those plynths for TT.

My common sense dictate that IMHO they don't have any scientific study/ies that serve as foundation to those plinth designs choice.

I hope I'm wrong and they come here and shows those measuring tests that shows differences in plinth build materials and plinth different shape design, we will see.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
