Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths

Lew,
The SH-10B3 (12kg) was the obsidian with rosewood base. The SH-10B5 was the obsidian-only base specifically meant for the SP-10Mk3 (round cut-out, 19kg). The SH-10B7 was the late 80s heavy (17kg) version which was meant for either the SP-10Mk3 or the SP-10Mk2A - quite like the SH-10B5, and almost as heavy (probably would have been if the cutout had been round instead of square). I do not know if there was something which made the SP-10Mk2A fit while the earlier SP-10Mk2 model did not.

Dear Tellefsen: Maybe could be good for you to read this thread:

not only me but some other people are enjoying their DD TTs ( including the SP10s. ) better than ever in the naked fashion against those same TTs plinthed with heavy plinths including Obsidian one.

IMHO the naked alternative not only could gives you a better quality performance level over a plinthed alternative but you don't have to invest almost any money for: is almost by " free "!!.

Anyway, it is another alternative.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Dave, The MkII and the Mk2A are physically identical, so any plinth that fits one will fit the other.

Sorry, I should have directed my remark to Travis, aka T_bone.
An added fact is that the pattern for the 5 threaded inserts provided for the bolts that fasten the tt chassis to its plinth in all 3 models, the MkII, 2A, and 3, is identical. Hence, you can drop a Mk3 into any of the 3 plinths that Travis described. The MkII and Mk2A would not fit into the dedicated Mk3 plinth, however, because the underside of the former two is square whereas the Mk3 is circular.

Hi Tellefsen

Since your experimenting with stillpoints - recommend u try 3 directly under the sp10 chassis. I was in your position a year ago.

Cheers
