@bima my platter is just like yours, the inner part is not the label size, it’s the record size (on my DP-80)
Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable
While my pair of Victor TT-101 still sleeping in the storage, i decided to buy another Flying Saucer.
The DENON DP-80, vintageknob always have nice images and info about rare stuff...
On that page you see DP-80 with DA-401 tonearm for hich compliance cartridges (i have this tonesm NOS). It could be an interesting project, it was hard to resist ...
The question is the Plinth for this Denon DP-80.
The original DK-300 plinth is an option, but searching for something better i found this one.
Custom made plinth is always an option and i have superb Audio-Technica AT-616 pneumatic insulators to use under the plinth.
But what do you guys using with your Denon PD-80 ?
P.S. some companies now producing even an iron cast plinth and graphite plinth, i have no access to graphite, but iron cast here is cheap to make a custom plinth.

@chakster And you just received it, yes? it’s beautiful, of course. But your mat is not like mine! Now I’m worried: it’s said to be "carefully engineered for the DP-80" etc. I don’t know how much that matters, but... Mine came with the table, from an eminently reputable dealer, in a massive VPI plinth, but with the best will in the world, mats get switched. Mine says "Denon" on the back, molded in the rubber. Yours is markedly different. I have one that closely resembles yours; more concentric rings, and lighter in weight — but of course that doesn’t mean it is like yours. "SFTG170M01" appears on the back of it; does yours have any signifier on the back? I checked 50 or so pictures on Google of various DP-80s; there’s a variety of mats, including some silly mismatches — but over half look like mine. Another question: do you know about the state of the foam pads (described in my post above)? Did the seller mention them, or any other info of recent maintenance/renewed parts? |
